Hello everyone. Welcome to Recap Queen. In this video, we will explain Runt. This movie tells
the story of a boy who is always bullied by his school friends. When the bullying got further and
even took the life of his beloved dog, he decided not to stay silent and fight back. Will he be able
to beat his bullies? Let's find out in Runt. Runt tells the story of a young man named Cal who is
often the target of bullying by his friends at school. Cal is a high school student who lives
with his mother and her beloved dog, Runt. One day, while on his way to school, Cal meets a
beautiful girl named Gabriella, his classmate. She is the girl he has a crush on at school.
Unfortunately, Gabriella already has a boyfriend named Vic who is also the most popular student
at school, just like Gabriella. Vic has two close friends, namely Hank and Big Ern. Besides Vic and
his friends, Cal is also often bullied by Ronnie, a nosy student who is also a drug user. However,
there is a girl named Cecily who pays attention to Cal quite often and has a secret crush on him.
When Cal is being bullied by Ronnie, he accidentally drops his condom on the floor.
Cecily realized this, then took the object and intended to return it to Cal.
While having an exam in class, Hank and Big Ern try to annoy Cal and force him to give a cheat
sheet. However, the teacher caught the slight commotion and called Cal. He then asks Cal if
the two students are trying to cheat on him. Since Cal doesn't want to get into trouble with Hank and
Big Ern who bullies him often, he lies and says they didn't cheat on him. When he was in class,
Cal would often secretly watch Gabriella and draw a sketch of her in his book.
Cal actually has a chance to express his feelings for Gabriella. But he never dared to do that.
Borgie, Cal's close friend, tells him to forget about Gabriella because she is Vic's girlfriend.
Gabriella and Vic make a great couple because they are both popular students at school.
Borgie thought Cal would be better off finding another girl because he deserved better.
On the other hand, Cecily returns Cal's condom, which makes him uncomfortable. Cecily intends to
take Cal to a homecoming dance party that will be held at school. However, Borgie interrupted her
on purpose so she didn't have time to say it to Cal because the boy left as soon as he heard the
school bell ring. After school, Cal ventured up to Gabriella and asked her to go to the school dance
together. But Gabriella politely declined Cal's invitation and walked away. As Gabriella left,
Cal quietly stuffed the sketch of Gabriella he had drawn into her bag. Vic and his friends come up to
Cal and snatch his bike. They then take Cal to the basketball court where the trio interrogates Cal
because they think he has told the teacher that Hank and Big Ern cheating. However, Cal insists
on defending himself that he doesn't tell the two students to their teacher. Vic then tells Cal to
convince their teacher that Hank and Big Er are not cheating and it's all just a misunderstanding.
Because Cal refuses Vic's request, he becomes angry and tells his friends to bully Cal.
The trio put Cal into the trash can and roll him up the stairs. After that, Cal becomes late for
work because of Vic and his friends. His manager had warned Cal that this was the second time he
was late for work and if it happened again, he would be fired. After part-time work, even
though his body still feels shaky, Cal still takes the time to invite Runt to play catch and throw.
The next day, Cal is called to the principal's office because a security guard caught him
being bullied by Vic and his friends. Shortly after, Vic walks into the principal's office
and Principal Carey asks if he and his friends bullied Cal yesterday. Vic did not deny this.
He said he just wanted to teach Cal a lesson because he had been stalking Gabriella, his
girlfriend. Even Vic showed everyone the sketch that Cal had secretly tucked into Gabriella's bag.
Cal was not moved because of Vic's statement. After school, Cecily walked up to Cal and took
him to the dance. But Cal refuses and says he has no interest in going there. As Cal rode his bike
and was about to leave, he saw Cecily sitting alone smoking a marijuana cigarette. Cal then
approached her who then offered the cigarette to him and they started chatting together.
Unexpectedly, the two became close quickly even Cal did not hesitate to ride Cecily on
his bicycle. The next day, during a group study, Gabriella apologizes to Cal for what happened.
She admitted that she was forced by Vic. As a sign of apology, she then invites Cal to attend a
party at Vic's house. Borgie who knows this, looks excited, but not so with Cecily who looks jealous.
After school, Borgie tries to encourage Cal that the invitation to the party could be a sign that
Gabriella actually likes him and asks Cal to take the opportunity to approach Gabriella.
Long story short, Cal ends up attending a party at Vic's house on the advice of Borgie. Actually Cal
had not interested in going there. But when he got there, Gabriella completely ignored Cal's presence
at the party, implying that what Borgie said about Gabriella liking him was wishful thinking.
Luckily Cecily is also at the party, so Cal has someone to chat with while Borgie is getting drunk
and acting embarrassingly at the party. When Cal was chatting alone with Cecily, both of them were
visited by Vic and his friends who immediately bullied Cal. Even Vic is openly flirting with
Cecily, even though he already has a girlfriend. Cal tries to save Cecily from Vic and his friends,
but he gets locked up in the car's trunk, while Vic and the others harass Cecily in retaliation
for Cal trying to get close to Gabriella. Hearing the commotion outside, Gabriella came out and
immediately saved Cecily by pushing Vic to the ground. Cal, who managed to get out of the car's
trunk, then tried to calm Cecily who was very shocked after experiencing indecent treatment
by Vic and his friends. However, Cecily asked everyone not to approach her and left immediately.
Vic tries to explain to his girlfriend that he's not harassing Cecily but Gabriella doesn't seem to
believe it because she saw Vic abused the girl with her own eyes. Because of this incident,
Cal becomes angry with Borgie, who forces him to come to a party at Vic's house. Especially Borgie
gets drunk and embarrassing them both. Borgie, who was annoyed, then replied to Cal's words by
saying that he was just a coward who could not repay all the treatment of Vic and his friends.
After school, Cal finds out that someone has cut his bicycle chain, causing him to be late
for work and eventually being fired. After all the misfortune he experienced that day, which he
believes Vic's doing, he intends to avenge Vic by setting his car on fire. The next day, Cal decides
not to go to school and visits Cecily's house to apologize. He meets Cecily's father who says that
his daughter doesn't want to meet anyone. Because Cal doesn't go to school, Vic and his friends go
to Cal's house, but can't find him anywhere because Cal is hiding somewhere with Runt.
That evening, Cal gets a message from Cecily to come to her house. Cal then apologizes to
Cecily for what happened to her at the party. But she said it wasn't Cal's fault. Cal then suggests
that Cecily report the abuse to the police. But Cecily didn't want to make things worse because
the impact would be huge if her father found out that she had been sexually abused. Cecily later
revealed that her father was a drug dealer. If her father found out that Vic had abused her,
then she was almost certain that her father would kill Vic and be thrown into prison for it. Cecily
didn't want her father to go back to jail, so she didn't want to report the incident to the police.
The next day, Cal returns to school after a week of absence. Borgie then walked over to him and
apologized for breaking Cal's bicycle chain. But Cal is even angry because Borgie's actions have
made him fired from his job. Because Cal finally came to school after a long absence, Vic and
his friends immediately made calculations on Cal and beat him in front of the students at school.
But this time, Cal, who is sick of being bullied by Vic and his friends, tries to get up and fight
his bullies, even though he has to struggle. Cal manages to confront his bullies and instantly gets
appreciation from his other friends, including Borgie. Even Ronnie, who had often underestimated
Cal and often bullied him, was impressed by his courage and then invited him to join his group,
which Cal immediately accepted happily. Ronnie then tells Cal that his father used to mix his
heroin with bleach, which caused him to collapse immediately after inhaling the heroin because a
blood vessel in his brain burst. The incident almost took his life, but he managed to survive
even though in the end he suffered a little damage to his brain nerves. In the evening, Cal spends
the night with Cecily where their relationship becomes increasingly intimate. In the morning,
Cal realizes that his dog has disappeared. He then looks around for Runt's whereabouts and finds a
bloodied baseball bat lying on the ground. Cal then headed to the trash can which was
not far from there and how shocked he was when he found his dog's body in the trash can in a
pathetic condition. Cal, who was devastated by the death of Runt, who had always been by his side,
then went to Vic at school and urged him to admit that he had killed Runt. But Vic denies that he
has killed Runt and his friends immediately kick Cal. That night, Vic and his friends will have
a match at the school gym. However, the students cheered for Cal who happened to also come to the
venue. Vic is annoyed, then tries to embarrass Cal in front of everyone by calling Cal a loser.
Cal immediately left the place and planned to repay Vic's actions in another way. Long story
short, before the match started, Hank and Big Ern intended to inhale heroin to increase stamina.
However, after inhaling the heroin, both of them then experienced convulsions and fainted and had
to be rushed to the hospital for medical treatment. It turns out that Cal has mixed
the heroin with bleach powder as Ronnie's father had done to teach his son a lesson.
This is Cal's plan to avenge Vic and his friends. Cal then goes to Vic and lures him
to a lonely place alone. He asks Vic to admit that he killed Runt and turns himself into the police.
But Vic refuses and immediately attacks Cal. The two of them got into a pretty fierce fight.
Meanwhile, Borgie and Cecily who are looking for Cal's whereabouts, hear the sound of fighting
not far away. In a fight, Borgie appears. Vic then apologized and promised to turn himself
into the police. But Cal, who is furious, has no intention of forgiving Vic and intends to
end his life as revenge for Runt's death. Soon enough Cecily appears and tries to convince Cal
not to do it because it will not bring Runt back to life. Cecily convinces Cal to punish Vic for
everything he did in other ways. Cecily then gives him a baseball bat. She then asks Cal to
break Vic's arm in retaliation for Vic harassing her and also killing Runt. According to Cecily,
this would have a deterrent effect on Vic and he would never again bully Cal or anyone else.
Cal complies with Cecily's request. After the incident Cal and Cecily also promised that they
would bear the consequences of their actions together. The film ends by showing Cal and
Cecily attending the school dance while the sound of police car sirens wailing in the distance.
