The introverted Didi is out with his man dominated family in a Megastore. His hyper-masculine father Jörg is fully occupied with repressing the chaos of the other two boys, while Didi walks around alone to find himself in the toy section. The storage racks are sorted strictly by gender: boys toys on the one side, girls stuff on the other. But Didi only has eyes for one side of the racks. When the family finally wants to leave the store through the security gates, an alarm goes off! Didi secretly stole a mermaid doll. His father Jörg doesn’t think that this is funny at all. His son steals toys for girls now? (Guanajuato International Film Festival)
