The story revolves around Martina, who doesn't have it easy. She lives with her mother and little brother in a high-rise housing estate in Berlin. As her mother can't always look after her little brother due to her shift work, Martina takes on this responsibility. But her life suddenly changes when she receives a scholarship to the prestigious Johann Sigismund Gymnasium. This boarding school is located in the idyllic Alpine town of Kirchberg. However, Martina soon finds herself increasingly caught up in the conflict between the boarding school students and the "locals" from the nearby village. It is common knowledge that there is a long-standing rivalry between the town kids and the village kids. In the midst of these tensions, the charismatic Ruda and a mysterious boy attract Martin's attention. When a fight breaks out between the two groups, in which Ruda is also involved, Martina can no longer remain inactive and decides to intervene. But it remains to be seen whether this was the right decision.
