As the grand ending to a project week about anti-bullying, Hjørdis is putting on a play, but a surprise guest forces her to compromise her vision.

As the theater troupe struggles to get the play into shape, Hjørdis devises a plan that demands that the pupils prepare to put themselves on the line.

Hjørdis wants Kristoffer to portray a princess, but Gert and Kristoffer's big brother objects; a three-way drama creates problems within the group.

As the theater troupe falls apart, Hjørdis fears their play will fail; when Kristoffer's dad pressures him to leave the group, a daring plan is born.
