He is a true Indian at heart, but on the outside, little, chubby and pale Max could hardly be further removed from the appearance of a Native American.

He knows what an opportunity this is for Max: At the performance, the boy could finally emulate his idols and show everyone what he's made of. Max needs this, because his life is not easy: his father Torsten is a great guy, but unfortunately also a daydreamer who has let things slide. That's why Max's mother Birte has separated from him. But Max is confident: as the chief of the family, he will manage to bring them back together...
