It is early summer. The exit exams are imminent, and the school has turned into a buzzing beehive bursting with nervous energy. In every corner, small groups congregate and have heated discussions: Who is certain to graduate, and who will not? And why did the girl who had been top of the class forever only now find out about the “advanced class” that everyone is taking to prepare for the exams (and isn’t that somehow like cheating)? Does the German language arts teacher really discriminate against immigrants, and is it still useful to get on his good side? Is attending the prom so totally not cool? Will someone be expelled in those final days for that totally radical thing they did to the arts teacher? It is everyone for him- or herself, as soon as the future and job prospects are at stake, and this strain puts even long-lasting friendships to the test. Opportunities are explored, and conflicts are stirred up. Conversations are shaped by the pressure to perform and by hopes for the future, by rejection and by expectations – with the inevitable approaching faster and faster.

World premiere
