Kurz bevor sie ihre Heimatstadt zum Studieren verlassen, durchlebt eine Gruppe jugendlicher Burschen ein wahres Emotionskarussell, in dem sich die Gefühle des letzten Zusammenseins mit den tiefen Gedanken über ihre Zukunft und ihre eigene Identität abwechseln.

On the verge of leaving their home village to start university, a group of boys go through a carousel of moods, where the euphoria of the last moments spent together alternates with the deepest thoughts about their own identity and future.
