Betray a friend or betray your country?
The country is at war and Oliver, who suffers from limp in his leg, can't join the army. So he does the next best thing. He signs up as a teaching assistant to help mold young minds into patriotic citizens. But the new shool instructor —Michael von Straum Liedelhart— instead of indoctrinating the children, encourages them to laugh and enjoy the simple things like butterflies and flowers.
Oliver believes it is his duty to inform the authorities about Michael's unorthodox and antinacionalistic teaching methods, but at the same time, he feels conflicted. Like the children, Oliver is increasingly drawn towards the charismatic Michael. Which will he abandon? Michael or his duty to the country?
