Weekend Rebels

Mirco hardly finds time for his family due to the stress of his job, which is why his wife Fatime takes care of baby Lucy and their ten-year-old son Jason practically on her own. This is not always easy, because Jason has Aspergers Syndrome, and his everyday life consists of fixed routines and rules. At school, the boy often has a hard time, he is teased and provoked. His reactions, in turn, lead to the family being advised to transfer him to a special school. Now it's up to father Mirco. To prevent the transfer, he makes a pact with his son: Jason promises not to let himself be provoked anymore, and in return Mirco will help him find a favorite soccer club – because everyone in his class has a favorite club! The problem with this is that Jason doesn't want to decide until he has seen all 56 teams of the first, second and third leagues live in their respective stadiums. He also draws up a precise list of criteria, including details such as the colors of the soccer shoes. This way an exciting journey through Germany for father and son begins, which also strengthens their relationship in a whole new way.
