In their final weeks of high school in East Germany, Anna and Marcus face unexpected challenges when Anna brings forbidden rock records to school, leading to both of them being disqualified from graduating and pursuing university studies. Seeking revenge against their principal who caused their predicament, they kidnap him with the intention of coercing him into reinstating their academic privileges. They hide him in Anna's grandmother's house while she is hospitalized. However, their plan goes awry when grandma returns earlier than expected.
Summary
