InfoAn observational story about how a particular person can dramatically change the lives of a typical teenager – and how such an adult can also change under the influence of his pupils. This is a film about transformation, discovering passion, and forever having a positive impact on a child's approach to learning and life... All the protagonists have been observed for three years through the ages 12-15, at the most important moment in their development. And in so many ways their development has been atypical. During their very first lesson they heard that they should throw away their textbooks. Then it got even stranger, with 12-year-olds from a small Polish town attempting to build satellite sail test models, inspired by a group of professional engineers...

At one of the group's many parties, Lilla, the daughter of the school history teacher, behaves a little too indecently. More than a little tipsy, she competes for Gergö's attentions and indeed, at the point where she is barely still able to walk, they end up in bed together. Needless to say, this provides the material for the clique's latest video. The following day the footage is online and Lilla has vanished. Subsequently, Gergö, the first to fall under suspicion, risks losing more than just his school leaving certificate. Together with his friends he proceeds to search the bars of Budapest, with not only the pressure of his own conscience, but also a sense of anxiety within the group growing in the process; what are they to do should the question of guilt arise? Stick together and keep silent, or ask for forgiveness?

"2001" is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon's surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between computers (HAL) and human (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers.
