A school somewhere in Hungary. An average literature class with averagely ill-prepared students. A seemingly normal day, except that a visit by the Hungarian Prime Minister is coming up. The school secretary, the master of the celebration, tries to keep everything in her control. Especially the celebration cake, which does not fit in the refrigerator. While the kitchen staff has to solve this problem, 17-year-old Márti, who is supposed to give the welcoming speech, reluctantly prepares her little revolution.
