Finally! Last day of school before summer vacation. Micha is very proud of his excellent report card: in the fall he´ll be going to high school. His best friend Kalli flunked again, but he couldn´t care less. A long hot summer lies over the dusty wasteland and the shabby suburban streets with those little working-class houses. In a deserted factory building Micha and Kalli feel at home. Whether it´s smashing windows, throwing knifes, trying to outdo each other in peeing, looking at naked women, poking fun at grandma: Kalli knows all the tricks. And he knows where his sister Rita hangs out with her boyfriend. He promises Micha, that there will be a lot to look at. Micha pretends to know what it´s all about. “Kalli is bad for you.” Micha´s dad, a bricklayer, is very strict. Micha is scared of his unpredictable fits of rage. Micha´s mother only bothers about his younger brother, a real plague. Whenever Micha feels really lonesome he daydreams about endless, fantastic planets or he sends signals with his flashlight into the stary night. The only time he is really happy is when he has a date with Claudia to go swimming in the nearby gravel-pit. That summer Micha learns more about life and the so-called adulthood than he can really stand.
