Hidden in one of Berlin’s backyards is one of Germany’s most ambitious high schools. What makes it so special? It is entirely organized by its students – without any outside funding. The pupils pay their own teachers and decide what they want to learn. No headmaster, no hierarchy and no pressure.
What would a school devoid of its ruling power look like in real life? This doc by first-time filmmaker Alexander Kleider goes behind the scenes of such unusual yet not-so-utopian scenario. An ode to the inner virtues of learning that will move you, prompt a smile and incite you to act all at once.
