In the break between two classes, István, the headmaster of the school meets two parents in his office. They want to take their son out of school, so that the boy can make some money for the family. István regards the case just another task that he needs to get over with, so he finishes the paperwork without asking Zoli (16) even one question. Although one of Zoli’s teachers tries to convince István that he boy deserves to complete his studies, the headmaster is reluctant to help the boy.
