Fridi is our hero!
Fridi is shy and lacks self-confidence. He is dreading the upcoming scout trip and the final exam with its embarrassing tasks. So, he intentionally misses the bus – but what now? By chance, Fridi runs into a few friends from school who also have no idea what to do. They can’t go to anyone’s house, and none of them have any money on them… A very special kind of road trip begins, leading the children to the outskirts of Berlin. There, they all spend the night in Fridi’s scout tent in the forest. And Fridi discovers that there is much more to him than he and everyone else had always thought.
