Story
During the winter holidays, eleven high school students selected from different schools come to the camp in the mountains. Officially they have to go skiing, but the coach says that they will also participate in an important experiment. In addition to the guys and the elderly coach, who calls himself the Pope, there are only two assistants of the Pope at the base - Dingo and Babeta.
The guys expect to have fun, but soon begin to strangeness. The trainer declares that there should be only ten children, which means that one of the eleven present illegally entered the camp site. However, everyone has invitations. Then it turns out that there is very little food left, and no one is going to deliver it to the camp (the road to the base was filled up, and the guys went up in batches on a lift ). Guys gradually notice inexplicable oddities in behavior for their mentors: for example, Dingo and Babeta occasionally bathe in snow like crazy. The leaders, in turn, conduct a systematic bleeding of children with each other, because of which in the team constantly quarrels arise.
At some point, coaches admit that they are not humans, but immortal aliens who arrived with the strategic goal of capturing the Earth - it was because of their immortality that their homeland was ultimately threatened with destruction due to gigantic overcrowding. The tactical goal is that out of eleven guys only ten are left alive, and the boys themselves must be sentenced to death (they are not allowed to sacrifice themselves). Having accepted this message first for a joke, the farther you are, the more you are convinced that all this is very much like the truth.
In the end, schoolchildren are saved by mutual assistance: when aliens are ready to destroy everyone, the guys, scaring the aliens with fire, get to the elevator. Throwing off their jackets there so that the elevator could stand everyone, they leave the tourist center.
