Lena is a bright, disabled girl who, after years spent studying at home, is keen to get back to school. She is assigned to a special class for disabled pupils who have to present themselves before a school commission at the end of the year in order to prove that they merit being moved back into a "normal" class. However her burnt out teachers show absolutely no desire to motivate or stimulate the students; on the contrary, they try to quash any interest Lena shows in more complex study material from day one. Nevertheless, Lena soon immerses herself in the school routine and finds companionship in her classmate Anton. Yet their transparent happiness is not to everyone's liking and repercussions soon follow.
