Plot

Entirely set at an elementary school in Zagreb, a new school counselor Anamarija arrives and tries to navigate helping students with complicated and entrenched inner workings of the school, inevitably on a collision course with the headmistress Vedrana and an old history teacher in his sixties, Siniša.
