“We’re doing great. We’re having a blast. We’re so happy.”

The students have arrived at Storkespringvandet in Copenhagen with a mission. Although things are going better for some than others, the students agree on one thing: Today they live in the present.

The sound of grasshoppers grows rapidly. An army of students with referee whistles in their mouths comes running down Strøget in Copenhagen, heading towards Storkespringvandet.

Their arms are stretched out in a triumphant pose, and there is not a single one in the group who is not smiling broadly. At the front, a girl in an FCK shirt runs and leads the mission: To get a wave in her student cap. The reward for jumping into the water with her expensively purchased cap on.
