a very cool high-school teacher has to teach a class of "autochracy" although he would much prefer to teach the "anarchy" one.
having nothing else to do, he decided to be very pragmatic about it, and thinks the best way to teach the students about the theme is to show them how it is done. so, quickly they build a very strict group called "the wave", with a leader, uniform, a greeting, and the thing goes beyond school walls and grows bigger everyday.
the drama is that it's obvious how vulnerable people - we - are to mass thinking and the feeling of inclusion. a lot of the kids didn't agree on some things but loved being part of a community. but how you will see in the end, it goes too far.
