16-year-old Erik's life is tainted by violence and conflict. When he is expelled from school, he is sent to the boarding school Stjärnsberg as a last chance to break free from his old life and continue his studies. But Stjärnsberg is hardly a refuge - here evil is systemized in the form of a condoned oppression of younger students by the older ones. Can Erik revolt against the harassments without breaking the rules and risking being expelled? Can he maintain dignity without being drawn into the violent spiral that is threatening his entire future? (official distributor synopsis)
