While Germany is entering a new era of freedom, 14-year-old Wolfgang against his mother’s will with the filing of a jealous stepfather, enters the camp for troubled teens in remote area Freistadt in Upper Austria, in the northern part of the Mühlviertel. Outwardly welcoming owner of the Brockmann house undertakes re-education of the rookie , but instead of going to school or to class, he has been forced to work hard.
