Rainer, a well liked high school teacher, is tasked with teaching his class about autocracy. His students are disinterested in the lesson and do not believe a dictatorship could be established in modern Germany. Rainier decides to teach the lesson through an experiment, turning his classroom into an autocracy as an example. What starts as innocent classroom role-playing soon becomes violent as students embrace fascist ideology.
