A failed school-leaving exam becomes a nationwide scandal. The exam ends in disaster for Abel. Was his love for Janka stronger than his eagerness to learn? Or did the history teacher fail him because of his Hungarian badge? In any case, his father believes the second option and the story becomes a national scandal. Did Abel's teacher fail him because of his convictions?
A biting and multi-layered portrayal of a socially divided Hungary and a lesson about the growing populism in Europe.
