Die Brennende Schnecke plot
Peter (Maximilian Haas) is fourteen and has problems during puberty. His mother is a single woman and Peter grows up without a father. By nature, Peter is a nice, cheerful boy who doesn't tread any extreme paths. In his class is a clique whose pacesetter, a certain Axel (Tobias Nath), looks down on Peter. In search of his own identity, Peter wants to be included in this group, but he must first prove himself. The evil Axel cunningly takes advantage of the situation and makes Peter do all kinds of criminal things. Meanwhile, Peter's mother has a friend who could make up for the loss of a father, but she only has eyes for her new love. Peter feels betrayed and neglected by his own mother and slides further and further.
