After an attempted suicide 17-year-old Paul is admitted to a therapy centre by his father, where he is diagnosed as bipolar.
During his stay there, he meets other young people with psychological problems, including Toni and spends the happiest day of his life with her. But the next morning shows that a mental illness has no regard for happiness and yet he can’t keep running away from reality.
