Starting from a real-life event, the disappearance of a student, this captivating show follows the reactions, relationships, and worldviews of five teenagers brought together by circumstance rather than choice. Although they hold fixed spots in the high school hierarchy, their differences are merely skin-deep – beyond them, they are united by the very same outlook on the authority figures who hold them back, the education system striving to mold them, and the media serving up absurd spectacles in a desperate chase for ratings!

The reality of our show is entirely theirs, beautifully subjective – leading to a thrilling slide from reality into fantasy and back, from 2015 into a dystopian future, and from a group of everyday teens into an extraordinary league of superheroes!

Beyond the excitement, the mystery of the disappearance lingers: who stood to gain from Beni's disappearance, who held a grudge, who loved him, and where do the clues lead? The answer is far more delightfully complex than it seems!

This wonderful show was created in co-production with the Reciproca Association and the Váróterem Projekt Association, as part of the exciting "Teen Spirit" project, proudly co-funded by the Cluj-Napoca City Hall and Local Council!
