Sergiusz 17 years old. He is very shy and introverted. His father and older brother treat him like a nerd, and that’s how his peers at school also treat him. The only thing he is good at is LARP (live action role-playing) games. This allows him to escape into a fantasy world of princesses, elves and made-up battles. Only in the world of LARPs can Sergiusz be a “real” man – brave and admired, or at least not pushed around by anyone. One day a new student appears at his school – beautiful Helena. Sergiusz falls in love with her at first sight. Unfortunately, Helena begins to mate with a group of popular and cool students, in which the leader is Gonzo – Sergiusz’s class bully. To make matters worse, Gonzo is increasingly interested in Helena.
