action
The series takes place in a boarding school , which is housed in a castle . There are interpersonal and school problems that are solved by the community.
The picture is drawn of rebellious adolescents, some of whom are still in puberty, and who are concerned about their lives and their future. The young people stand for the West German protest culture of the 1960s, 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s and come across parents and teachers who cannot or can only partially follow them. Last but not least, this fact leads to the conflicts mentioned above.
