Claude (Alain Cohen) is an 8-year-old Jewish boy living in France during the Nazi occupation. To reduce the chance that he would be sent to Auschwitz or a similar fate, his parents send him to live with a farm family, the elderly parents of Catholic friends of his parents. (In reality, many French urban Jews made similar choices for their children.) The elderly couple honestly think that the boy has been sent to live with them because Paris is dangerous; it never crosses their mind that Claude is a Jew.

The pre-title scene shows Joshua (Ramon), the main character, in a psychiatrist's office. Joshua is clearly refusing to cooperate with the shrink, who seems to favor repressive in place of persuasive approach. The brief dialogue in this scene is mainly filled with rather cheesy joke exchanges about transsexual brothers. The title screen is then shown.

Ce film est un documentaire critique de la société américaine qui tente de répondre à cette question : « Pourquoi le nombre d'homicides par arme à feu est-il proportionnellement plus élevé aux États-Unis que dans les autres pays ? ». Le titre fait référence à la fusillade du lycée Columbine à Littleton (Colorado) en 1999 où 12 lycéens et un professeur sont assassinés par deux de leurs camarades.
