Germany. Our days. A school teacher of history invites his students to conduct an experiment: for exactly a week, high school students will live according to the laws of a totalitarian state. Hard discipline, widespread control, denunciations, punishments - the Nazi scheme is recreated with frightening accuracy. Pupils by their own example become convinced with what ease can be manipulated by people, turning them into a faceless humble mass. But at some point, the game gets out of control, and now its participants will have to reach the end and know the dark side of the dictatorship.
