"What are we supposed to rebel against today? Nothing has any value anymore." Rainer (Jürgen Vogel) is angry. The high school teacher has been assigned the topic of autocracy for the upcoming project week on "Forms of Government." It's not exactly his area of expertise. His attempt to swap topics with a colleague fails. As a former squatter and leftist, he naturally claims the topic of anarchy for himself. Meanwhile, dramas unfold in the theater club. Dürrenmatt's "The Visit" is on the schedule. Dennis, the director, is desperate over his actors. Karo is arguing with the class clown Ferdi, who refuses to stick to the script. In the swimming hall, Marco angrily splashes the water. The water polo tournament is going poorly; despite intense training and aggressive play, they can't compete against the opposing team.
