Princess Dagmar's life is boring, so depressed - so depressed that the doctor has to come. And the doctor advises: The girl must get out of the regulated aristocratic everyday life. Princess Dagmar is sent to a girls' boarding school, located on a farm, where everyone studies hard and gets stuck in and eats simple, healthy food. In keeping with the surroundings, Princess Dagmar also falls in love with a tough country boy. He is determined to found a school where individual boys are welded together in camaraderie - so that they can find the values that will enable them to fulfill their leadership roles in the world of tomorrow. Of course, Princess Dagmar will entrust her son to him one day.
