It is 1941, and young Germans are attending an exclusive school in order to train as future leaders of the Third Reich. Despite his anti-Nazi father's objections, talented boxer Friedrich Weimer (Max Riemelt) makes it into the school. Once there, he befriends Albrecht Stein (Tom Schilling) who questions the actions of his own father, the Nazi military governor of the area, and gives Friedrich his first glimpse of what is going on in Germany. As he continues at school, more insights will follow.
