W filmie Oliwier, 12-letni chłopiec, dzieli się swoimi doświadczeniami i przemyśleniami na temat efektywnej oraz radosnej nauki. Podkreśla, że nauka nie musi być ciężkim obowiązkiem – może być przyjemna i ciekawa, jeśli połączy się ją z zabawą oraz osobistą pasją. Oliwier przytacza badania naukowe, które potwierdzają, że uczenie się przez zabawę zwiększa kreatywność, motywację oraz umiejętności społeczne. Opowiada o swoich początkach w nauce czytania metodą Glena Domana, wczesnym kontakcie z językiem angielskim dzięki bajkom, a także o swoich zmaganiach i sukcesach w muzyce, gdzie samodzielne eksperymentowanie i korzystanie z nowoczesnych narzędzi (np. YouTube, aplikacje muzyczne) pomogły mu rozwinąć talent. Oliwier zaznacza, że nawet trudne przedmioty, takie jak geografia, mogą stać się przystępne, gdy połączy się naukę z humorem i twórczym podejściem. Oliwier ma 12 lat i uważa, że zabawa to doskonały sposób na naukę. Jego pasje to muzyka, aikido oraz historia, a szczególnie fascynuje go Japonia.
