The story

Young Norbert Stenzel supervises livestock-farming training in Pinnow, where he was once an apprentice and often suffered under his predecessor’s teaching methods. He wants to show his former instructor that training can be enjoyable. Seeing the apprentices as responsible adults, Norbert gives them more freedom and less strict supervision in an effort to motivate them for hard work.
