In Valpolvra, a village that has fallen out of time, self-actualization is the focus of all the inhabitants. Their dream jobs are reliably determined by an algorithm. The adolescents are spared the previously endless orientation phase of youth, the search for the perfect job, the many rejections and all other crises of meaning. Instead, everyone lives a fulfilled and productive life. Those who don't get a job because of rebellious, irresponsible and impulsive online profiles are classified by the algorithm as youthful and thus unfit for work. These people have the task of waiting until they are mature enough for a job. They are exempt from all duties, but also from all attractive privileges that only adults are allowed to enjoy. One of them is Wanja (21), who resists growing up. As a so-called long-term adolescent, she lives with her clique in an old barn, cut off from productive society. One morning, Wanja surprisingly receives a job offer. Believing that she will have more freedom as an adult and still be able to pursue the youthful lifestyle, she accepts the job calculated for her as an architect. Not suspecting that she will thus at the same time turn against her friends.
In a world driven by algorithms, a group of "forever teenagers" rebel against the dictates of self-optimization.
