The Swarmers

• Watchlist

Karla is new at the highly traditional boarding school "Sankt Severin". Because she breaks the nose of popular classmate Pombert on her very first day, not only is her social decline inevitable - she is also ordered to take care of the school's beehive. Although the task is initially punitive, Karla begins to identify more and more with the fragile bees, which must face death as soon as they sting. A modern adaptation of Rainer Maria Rilke's novella "The Gym Class" - a story about social power structures and their early emergence.
