At a boarding school in 1900s Austria, cruel bullies Beineberg and Reiting go to great lengths to embarrass, abuse and dehumanize their pathetic classmate, Basini . The lowly Basini shows no opposition to his position as the object of constant brutality, and neither does Töerless, a perceptive yet detached friend of the bullies. But as Töerless watches idly, the tormentors begin to turn the whole school violently against Basini.
