One of the very few movies that has made me cringe. It shows how weak our minds become when,Something happens and we do not know how to react because the act is simply disgusting and we become blind accusers blind, people become manipulate with no personal opinion without valid evidence and proof, regardless of the maturity of people. A word and a feeling can quickly rip a life apart. This is what happens when people jump to conclusions, lives get ruined. That's what happens when people lie. The girls can't be really blamed for all this because she does not understand what she did for the simple fact that she Is just a child and she has no idea how deep Her words can cute a persons dignity.
for example when the mother actually convinces Klara that it did happen. Now what would happen if a mother did that in a custody battle out of spite and just because she's evil; convince her kids that their father hurt them and abused them and it was so terrible that they just can't remember? Everyone including his family would grow up hating him and for nothing.
I just wanted to point out that the Scene were the child psychologist did was wrong and unskilled, know that you are not supposed to imply an answer and nudge children in the assumed direction. When he was was asking Klara questions, he clearly handled it quite poorly. Klara clearly hated to be called a liar or was scared to get punished as she wanted outside when Her parents were Yelling, signaling she was terrified if that happened to her, so she just went along with whatever he was saying. I really hope this is not how things work in the real world. Great movie though, illogicality aside.
What i think happened with Klara
Confabulation is distinguished from lying as there is no intent to deceive and the person is unaware the information is false. Although individuals can present blatantly false information, confabulation can also seem to be coherent, internally consistent, and relatively normal, Specially in the mind of such a young child.

There are 2 meanings to the ending.
1) is that he will be always hunted because society never forgets once it sees someone as a predator. No matter how innocent you are - you will always be hunted.
2) he was shot at by his friends son because he firmly believe Lucas was guilty, and never realized that the picture he showed Klara would trigger the events, and i have certainty that he also killed Fanny.
