Pierre Anthon and his classmates have just started 8th grade, when Pierre Anthon declares that life has no meaning, leaves school and moves up in a tree, refusing to come down. This sparks an existential crisis amongst his classmates. They decide to gather their most valuable belongings in a “heap of meaning” that will convince Pierre Anthon that he is wrong. A dangerous, disturbing, and controversial study of what really matters has begun.

We had read the book and in my opinion the book is Way more interesting and unique than the film. The acting is shitty and there is lots of cringe moments, but it stays pretty loyal to the original story. It was actually quite funny in some of the serious moments. Also actually suprisingly brutal.
