The new job of ambitious teacher HANNES FUCHS is unusual: It is the prison school of the young offender part of a big prison in Vienna. There Fuchs meets headstrong prison teacher ELISABETH BERGER, who by employing unconventional teaching methods keeps her students under control and prison officers occupied. Yet, for chief prison officer ERNST WEBER, the art classes are a thorn in his flesh, due to perceived safety protocol issues. However, art is the most important aspect of Berger’s programme as even the most violent offenders quieten down when painting.
