Power games and intrigue in the staff room. Anamarija has finally found a permanent job as a counsellor at a school. The atmosphere there however is clouded by discord and cliqueism. At first Anamarija tries to stay out of it, soon however she realises that she has to play her own game to survive in the shark pool that is her staff room.

Inauspicious beginnings: The headmistress, her fellow teachers and the parents intrigue with and against one other for all they're worth. In the midst thereof young pedagogue Anamarija simply tries to get on with her work with the children, that isn't so easy however. The children are rebellious, trouble brews between the teachers: here is old Siniša, who feels harassed by everyone, there are the gossipers and then there is the womaniser. While Anamarija tries to find her place in the staffroom pecking order, a brisk and dialogue-rich exchange of blows unfolds in the classroom. Narrated with merciless honesty Sonja Tarokić's latest film portrays a balancing act attempted in the absence of togetherness. And a heroine who soon abandons her ideals in order to survive in an institution whose employees are tasked with one of the most responsibility-laden roles in society; the education of future generations. Through suffering a woman with great ideals comes to learn that she is no better than those around her.
