Overview

When puberty hits the 14-year-old Sonny Kruger, he starts looking at his attractive classmate Coco in a different way. Too shy to ever stand a chance with her, he starts doubting his own masculinity.

With the help of his best friend Ferdi and the things he sees in nature that inspire him, he eventually does have the courage to approach Coco.
