On 22 July 1975, after their final school exams, the pupils of class III A sign a 'wretched pact' that will bind them until their last day: every year they will meet and toast the future, hoping that fate will strike the others. School time is the only time that stands still, and even thirty years on no wrinkle or extra kilo can disguise an old classmate. But with the demon of competition and a fabulous prize at stake, the variables multiply, and an agreement born almost as a joke turns into a ruthless contest to stay alive as long as possible, laying bare the impulses hidden inside friendship.
