Zoli’s parents want him to leave secondary school and find a job to support his family. For headmaster István, the case is a routine administrative task to be completed with one signature during recess. But for 16-year-old Zoli, it is a decision in which he has no say, and which will determine the rest of his life. The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival.
