The clever but also somewhat rebellious student Arnold is about to graduate from school, but is nevertheless looking somewhat aimlessly into the future. Maybe go abroad to study, which is also open to him thanks to his well-off mother and a school exchange year? His friends envy him. Slowly, through his popularity, he learns that real life has much more to do with grey areas and smears. What starts out funny and harmless becomes more and more of a socio-political compulsion. Meanwhile, three initially inconspicuous schoolgirls lead the real civil disobedience against a corrupt society paralysed in old structures and courageously demand their rights.
