„So you think that a dictatorship is no longer possible in Germany today“, Rainer Wenger (Jürgen Vogel) tries to lure his students out of the reserve. He senses that he cannot convey the topic of „autocracy“ with frontal instruction and uses the project week for a little experiment. In practice, he wants to teach his students how autocracy works. The students should get up when they talk to him, and troublemakers like Kevin (Maximilian Mauff) are quickly and decisively thrown out the door. A uniform, a logo and the „Wave Greeting“ should help to transform the class into a strong community. Rainer Wenger misses the fact that the students are forming a fascist movement. Only Marcos (Max Riemelt) friend Karo (Jennifer Ulrich) still has the strength to defend her individuality. When she sees how students who do not return the „wave greeting“ are excluded, she decides to act. But especially the former outsider Tim (Frederick Lau) refuses to find his way back to reality.
