Synopsis: Jan, Peter and Jule dream of changing the world, like other rebellious youth before them. They become 'The Edukators', warning the local rich that their days of affluence are numbered, through poetic, non-violent acts. But things become complicated when Jule falls for both young men and an unintended kidnapping brings the young idealists face to face with the values of those in power.
