The young teacher Ms. Novak starts at a boarding school where mainly young people with rich parents are educated. Her subject: conscious nutrition. The pupils are immediately hooked. After all, it's about important topics such as self-care, health and the climate. But her teaching is tough, because above all she teaches renunciation. She manipulates her students to such an extent that they follow her into an extreme dietary cult and also escape the influence of their parents. They think that the more they do without, the greater their self-control and the greater the lasting impact on the environment. The course begins to fast and Club Zero is born. By the time the parents realize that they can no longer do anything for their children, it is already too late. In a world based on performance and success, they barely have time for their children and the tragedy takes its course.
