(2019)

At the start of the school year in Antwerp high-school SAS, only gentleman jock Vince Dubois, the boyfriend of class queen bitch Camille Van Beem, and the outsiders don't look down on the new girl Carolien 'Caro', whose unemployed father Peter Timmers moved from the Ardennes to grandmother Valentine 'Titin' Jacobs's house. New class teacher Pieter Botty however is the instant favorite, when presented by headmaster Wolfs, of all cool girls, being even hotter then Vince.

A few week later, hottie teacher Pieter Botty looses popularity when he assign the class to express emotion trough poetry. Vince is sent to the headmaster for refusing to give a try at such an un-cool task. Others make a fool of themselves or fail to fill the criteria. Only Caro impresses Botty, but is booed by the others and atypically ditches class, receiving nerd friends Yemi and Kyona at home, yet still dares tell not even them that her pa moved here because of her mother's grave disease.

Vince's poor grades and recent 'misbehavior' require a summoning to the headmaster with his father Olivier Dubois, but he was just appointed coach of the national soccer team, so everything only has eyes for Oliver, even Wolfs practically forgets about Vince, who gets no attention at home either. Caro imagines that language teacher Botty may be her anonymous online friend and dreams of all hot boys in class yearning for her. Peter Timmers finally gets a job, as garden center stock officer. When dreamy Caro drives her bike into a pond and looks drowning, athletic ...

Vince is more amused then embarrassed when the press pictures of him seemingly in kiss-position above drowning-rescued Caro render his bitch girl friend Camille jealous and her minion swarm storms into his team's locker-room. Everyone is thus invited to a home party, even Caro's nerd bunch. She needs dragging along, afraid to find that her mystery Internet admirer could actually be teacher Botti, who does attend the party. Caro's pa Peter's gardening skills are cruelly ignored at his new nursery job, reduced to stock and cleaning jobs instead of advising clients which...

Teacher Botty tells the class he was coincidentally at the same venue as their party, attending a mate's bachelor party. Caro still assumes he must be the mysterious Ruben who befriended her on social media. Even after he explains he only wanted her opinion about the 'butterfly book' as he considers it for a school play, she bitches at him as if a stalker she's 'about to report to the principal', but is duly told she risks having to explain her impudent misbehavior. Vince has made up with jealous girlfriend Camille, who publicly makes fun of Caro, snaps at Vince who ...

Vince only enters the school play auditions as Camille demanded so, even lands the male lead, yet she exhausts his patience by demanding he threatens to walk off unless she gets the female lead, instead of Caro. Vince finds his father Olivier Dubois surprised the boy can even sing, while his discrete gay partner, masseur Philippe Meeusen, who dreams of a theater career, proudly claims the knave got the talent from 'his other daddy'. Camille goes blame Caro at home as her anonymous online stalker, only to finds (s) remains mysterious.

Vice and Caro would enjoy practicing their lead parts as lovers pair, if it weren't for Camille who also drives directing teacher Botti to despair with her constant jealous criticism. When she calls it obvious she should swap roles with the 'kissing virgin', Vince and Caro agree to study their lines together for lack of help at home, but he books a restaurant and gives Camille hope to stop her tearful begging. When she finds out he's not 'chilling at home', she drags her fashionista posses there to pull a scene. Vince's attempt to calm her down only alienates Caro, ...

Since Vince and Camille dumped each-other, the rehearsals are hell for hem, third lead Caro, the minor cast and clueless teacher-director Botty. Nevertheless the whole school gets ready to welcome the families -except Camille's- on premiere evening. Vince's closet-gay father Olivier soon regrets having agreed to come with his partner Philippe Meeusen, who presents himself as Vince's 'other parent', which Olivier hastily renames proud uncle, and can't resist stealing a far too public kiss. Mighty, pious Vince punishes any thoughtless verbal gay-abuse in the locker room...

Caro's family and friends attend her mother's funeral. Vince accepts being told to leave her alone, but decides to discretely take care of arrangements, including a pianist-singer, mobilizing his jock teammates to involve everybody from school. The dreary reception afterwards is turned into a festive gathering, just as the show and party animal would have wanted. Olivier Dubois is furious his career as national coach is compromised by the press exposing him as closet gay, but as Vince insists his love for Philippe Meeusen must come first, he has his manager confirm it...

After Caro's mother's funeral, she learns and appreciates how much Vince helped, yet turns to her mystery Internet admirer Ruben. Vince pushes his 'daddies' to get over the uncoordinated outing, and to the trio's delight that works and Olivier's coach career seems unbroken. Camille feels a total failure, being dumped by Vince, but plays nice to everyone, especially rival Caro, to hear -actually from blabbermouth Yemi- she had 'another', which she spreads as if her ex was dumped twice and begging her back. Vince is delighted that his alter-ego Ruben remains in Caro's ...

The headmaster uses the new intercom system to announce the upcoming school prom, which renders settling relationships urgent. Vince is delighted when he learns Caro still likes his alter-ego Ruben and as such invites her to the ball, while keeping his 'fathers' guessing who the lucky girl may be. Getting on-line proof her stalker knows even her diary's content, Camille relapses in lethargy, almost ridiculed by her queen bee follower girls. Caro's father David hesitates telling her about an opportunity to resume management of his Ardennes plants nursery.

Vince won't tell his relieved 'daddies' why he's beaming again on prom night, just it's a girl from school. Vince is as anxious to come clean to clueless Caro as she is to meet the mysterious Ruben, but he just can't get to it, so she's left wondering if he shall turn up. Neither cares who will be crowned king and queen, but Camille's sycophantic fans Merel and Nona stuff the box with 'Vince and Camille' notes. After their crowning by the headmaster, Kyona exposes the fraud publicly. 'King' Vince's denunciation of the meaningless fake election and revealing he's Ruben...

The end of term sort of smooths the prom night drama, as the summer vacations brightens the mood for most. Vince is inconsolable to be dumped by Caro, who annoys her other friends by announcing she's moving back to the Belgian Ardennes as her father accepted running the nursery there again. By the time Olivier convinces Vince to look for her, she already said her goodbyes to the reconciled others. Weeks later, Vince tracks her down in her new town and demands a final decision, promising to abide by it, whether she really wants to throw away such a promising ...
