In search of happiness, the two students Daniel and Lenny want to try out the theory that positive and negative forces, and thus happiness and unhappiness, always balance each other out in life. At first you play small, harmless pranks on yourself, but this quickly becomes an addiction. The strokes of fate that they inflict on each other are becoming more and more extreme. Soon everything will be too much for Daniel and he wants to get out of the vicious circle. But Lenny has already chosen Daniel himself as the greatest possible victim.
