Barlaeus, a not-so-bright student, has the greatest difficulty keeping up at the university. His mother, neuroscientist Meredith Milius, is doing everything in her power to make her dim-witted son smarter. Meredith believes that if you aren’t “highly educated,” you might as well be dead. Meanwhile, the young cleaning lady Tanya dreams of a life as an intellectual.
When she accidentally runs into Barlaeus, who is struggling with an important essay, Tanya sees a chance to make her dream of going to college come true. Sparks fly. Will the two young lovers manage to survive in the unforgiving academic world?
