Martin and Ursula Novotny, parents in Sevelen, Switzerland, compare smartphones and social media to alcohol and drugs, and held off giving their children phones until they were older. The film follows their family alongside the Lyceum Alpinum boarding school, where devices are locked away all day and handed back to older students only after class, while younger students get two hours in the evening. Teachers and students describe the change: fewer distractions in the classroom, more actual conversation at breaktime. Child and adolescent psychotherapist Nady Mirian weighs in on which household rules around screen time and social media actually work, and at what age a first phone makes sense. The families and schools shown are not against technology itself; their argument is about timing and limits. Interviews with parents, students, and staff are cut together with classroom and home footage to ask a plain question: is it still possible, or even better, for a child today to grow up without a smartphone in their pocket.
