"Nothing means anything," proclaims fourteen-year-old protagonist Pierre Anthon in Janne Teller's novel for young people, which the new course under the direction of Johanna Heusser and Sebastian Gisi is adapting for the movie . Pierre Anthon decides one day to stop going to school and instead sit on a plum tree and ponder from there about nothingness. This provokes his classmates to such an extent that they feel obliged to show him what has meaning. A harmless game turns into bitter seriousness.

The new play by the Junges Theater Graubünden is about nothing less than the meaning of life. An existential question that preoccupies young people and adults alike.
