Lieve van Hout

The Third Hedonistic High School Lieve van Hout

Kobe is in his last year of high school and a straight-A student. He is a high achiever, but his family has no money to spare for a university education. This leaves him destined for a regular job after high school. Kobe dreads ending up like his father and would much rather study cyber security. Kobe submerges himself in swimming to escape from reality. His daily exercise routine has sculpted his body to perfection and people invariably take notice. His impeccable taste in clothing makes his beauty stand out even more. When he walks down the street Kobe notices that people are looking and staring at him. Women throw themselves at him on regular occasions, including at school and while he is at work. This attention is all lost on Kobe, who isn´t interested in dating, romance, love, or casual encounters. He much prefers the company of a good book and playing computer games with his friend. Between school, swimming, and his side job at the bookstore, there isn´t much time for a relationship anyway. His interests seem to shift when he goes on a school trip to Berlin and Prague. Something changes within him, which makes him pay attention to women. During this romantic comedy, Kobe discovers everything that love has to offer and, along the way, learns that, thanks to his swimming, there might be an opportunity to go to university after all.
