Synopsis:
Rico is ten years old and – as he himself puts it – lowly gifted. Sometimes things just seem to fall out of his mind and Rico also has problems telling his left from his right. But he is still curious, likes to collect bits of paper, and is rarely afraid to approach strangers. The only thing that is missing, really, is a true friend. But then Rico meets Oskar, who is two years younger than he is. Oskar is highly gifted, he has the first 107 primary numbers off by heart, but unfortunately he is frightened of everything and everyone. that’s why he always wears a helmet.
The two of them soon become friends. Rico begins to do everything for Oskar. He even makes his mother go alone to visit her brother, who is seriously ill, because the date he has made with his new friend is more important. But Oskar doesn’t turn up. Not – as arranged – at eleven, and not even at twelve! Then Rico sees on the news that Oskar has been kidnapped by the notorious kidnapper, Mister 2000. Bravely, the lowly gifted lad launches a rescue operation ...
