A lighthearted boarding school comedy centered on rival student groups engaging in escalating pranks, ultimately about friendship and belonging.

The third form of a boarding school and the students of a neighboring school do not get along. Each side dreams up the craziest pranks to defeat the other. And when one day the high school students go as far as stealing the Gymnasium students’ essays and even burning them, daily school life really gets out of hand.
