In 1968, at a time of social and political conflict and change in the Federal Republic of Germany, something new begins on a small scale in a girls' grammar school in Munich. The classroom is transformed into a film studio under the direction of young director Edgar Reitz. The "film lesson" begins: the first documented attempt in film history to teach film and film aesthetics as an independent subject. In 2023, Edgar Reitz, the now world-famous director of the "Heimat Trilogy" and many other films, is approached by an elderly lady. She identifies herself as one of his former students. They arrange a class reunion.
