Nitram

Nitram enjoys playing with fireworks, much to the annoyance of his neighbors. This penchant for pyrotechnics begins to foreshadow deeper troubles as it reflects his impulsive nature and lack of awareness of the consequences of his actions.

Nitram expresses a yearning for a surfboard after catching sight of a captivating woman with a surfer. Despite his hopeful plea to his mother, she firmly denies his request, showcasing the strained relationship between them.

Nitram begins mowing lawns for pocket money, leading him to form a friendship with his neighbor, Helen, a retired actress. Their bond grows as she hires him to walk her dogs and eventually gifts him a car, ignoring his inability to drive safely.

After facing ongoing frustration at home, Nitram decides to move in with Helen. She agrees to let him stay in a spare room, but challenges him to get rid of his air rifle that disturbs her peace.

During a birthday celebration, Nitram introduces Helen to his parents, which leads to uncomfortable revelations. His mother shares a troubling story from Nitram's childhood, highlighting his struggles and the impact on their family dynamics.

Despite his father's plans to buy a bed and breakfast with a secured loan, their offer is unexpectedly outmaneuvered by another couple. This setback plunges his father into a deep despondency, affecting the family's morale.

In a bid for solace, Nitram offers Helen a trip to Hollywood, but during their drive to the airport, he lurches for the steering wheel, resulting in a tragic crash. The accident leaves Helen dead and Nitram critically injured, marking a turn in his life.

After the accident, Nitram discovers he is the unexpected heir to Helen's mansion and a significant financial inheritance. However, this newfound wealth leads him into a spiral of heavy drinking as he copes with the loss.

Nitram's situation worsens when his father is found dead in a river under suspicious circumstances. This loss further isolates Nitram, leaving him without familial support and struggling to cope with his grief.

At his father's funeral, Nitram is denied entry by his mother, who fears his presence will cause embarrassment. This rejection deepens his sense of isolation and alienation from his family.

While watching the news, Nitram becomes fixated on the Dunblane massacre, leading to a dangerous obsession with firearms. This pivotal moment marks his descent into violence, prompting him to acquire illegal weapons.

Fueled by his obsession, Nitram drives to the bed and breakfast his father had hoped to buy, beginning a chilling shooting spree against the new owners. This marks a horrifying turning point in his life, pushing him further down a path of destruction.

Nitram continues his rampage at a café where his family used to celebrate special occasions. After placing an order, he sets up a camera and opens fire on unsuspecting tourists, showcasing the tragic magnitude of his actions.

Amid the chaos unleashed by Nitram, his mother remains blissfully unaware of the massacre unfolding outside. She calmly smokes at home, oblivious to the news broadcast detailing her son's horrific actions.
