Emilio, a shy, modest student at a small secondary school, has long loved Natalia, the brightest girl in his class. On the last day of term, just as he gathers the courage to confess, Natalia wins a scholarship to study medicine at Oxford. Refusing to give up, Emilio and his rag‑tag band of drop‑outs fake qualifications, slip into Oxford and stir chaos across the normally peaceful campus.
