17 year-old Leroy is German, cultivated, well-behaved ... and black. But the family of his first girlfriend, Eva, has a rude awakening in store for him. For Eva’s skinhead brothers brutally remind Leroy of the colour of his skin. Even so, the two of them experience a turbulent summer between diverse ideological experiments, a birthday party that goes wrong, travesties, loss of hearing, a helium balloon accident and the last-minute prevention of a budgie murder. But then Eva and Leroy get beaten up, and Eva leaves him.
