Old School
Three friends attempt to recapture their glory days by opening up a fraternity near their alma mater.

Paul and Böller from Wanne-Eickel have a dream: they want to apply to be lifeguards on Sylt. Not because the two VoKuHiLa advocates love saving lives so much, but because they are hoping for a lot of beer and a pack of gorgeous women. Once they arrive on the tranquil island, the stylish high society quickly loses its cool thanks to the pair.
