Sensitive and restless Johannes is accepted to an elite school in Tallinn and expects life to go uphill. Instead, he becomes the victim of mental abuse by his classmates. In search of recognition, he goes to his old Lasnamäe friends, who spend their time doing drugs, hanging around, and partying, rather than focusing on schoolwork. At home, Johannes must deal with his mother’s deteriorating mental health. As the tension grows, he finds himself at zero point, where he must completely reset his life to build it up from scratch.

"Zero Point", based on Margus Karu's bestselling novel, is a drama about the most pressing problems of today's youth – school bullying and the low self-esteem it causes, adjustment disorders, and search of recognition.

Director Mihkel Ulk, screenwriter Margit Keerdo-Dawson, cinematographer Mihkel Soe, production designer Sirly Oder, editors Margo Siimon and Hendrik Mägar, composer Janek Murd, producer Evelin Soosaar-Penttilä. Production companies: Allfilm and Estonian Public Broadcasting.
