Johannes, a sensitive young man, enters an elite school where he becomes the victim of mental abuse by his classmates. He starts taking drugs and partying at old friends’ places, neglecting his studies, while having to deal with his mother’s mental illness. Stuck in this hard situation, he understands he’s now reached ‘zero point’ and has to rebuild his life. After being denounced as an outcast at school and frightened away from home by his mother’s developing schizophrenia, there is no other way out for Johannes but to start improving his life by reforming himself. Zero Point, based on a bestselling novel, is a drama about the most pressing problems of today’s youth – school bullying and the low self-esteem it causes, adjustment disorder, and searching for recognition.
