Synopsis

The ambitious middle school teacher HANNES FUCHS (39) is assigned to a prison school alongside the older prison schoolteacher ELISABETH BERGER (60) whose unconventional methods keep her inmate students busy and on their toes. For WEBER (54) the department commander of the juvenile detention wing, Berger is a security risk.
Fuchs is eager to prove himself a suitable prison teacher, but soon realizes that Berger won’t let anyone get too close. While Weber tries to pit both teachers against each other, Berger slowly makes Fuchs her accomplice. When Fuchs instructs the inmates alone for the first time, it comes to an inevitable confrontation between him and the class…
