As the expansion of a northern Swedish mine forces a family to leave their home, a child struggles to make sense of a world that is slowly falling apart. Through an intimate and unconventional perspective, we witness how imagination becomes a way to cope with loss, displacement, and change, as the stability around her begins to fracture.

The Class is aimed at children in their younger teens and addresses issues and dilemmas that are relevant to them but that parents or other adults usually do not think are important. It's about small and big things that create recognition with topics that range from how the friendship is put to the test when two friends fall in love with the same girl to how it feels not to be seen. The Class addresses the challenges and problems that children face in everyday life and are largely taken from the reality of high school students, the one they do not share with adults.
