Ten minutes. Two outcasts. One wrecked room. You won't forget it.
We meet two classmates who can´t adjust to life at school. Even though he has lived there for a year now, Thomas has still not been accepted by his classmates. Karsten is an oddball liked by few. The film is about the day when they, for various reasons, sneak away from their swimming lesson and destroy the carpentry room.
