A group of local boys, called “The Crocodiles“, are living in a quiet german town. Quiet… ? Well, not anymore, since these days a group of robbers is breaking into a lot of stores. Meanwhile, the gang around Olli (Manuel Steitz) as the boss, found a new member – young Hannes (Nick Romeo Reimann). He managed to pass the tough entrance test, so he now proudly tells his mother that he is a true crocodile now, as his new chain proves. However, there also is a new boy in town, Kai (Fabian Halbig from the “Killerpilze“), who had a tragic accident with his father. He lost the ability to move his legs, so he now is bound to a wheelchair. His mother cares a lot about him, maybe even too much – his only wish is to find new friends and to be independent for once, so he must not go to a local school for handicapped people. He kind of accidentally observes the robbers as the break into another store – so he has a certain basis to make friends with the local boys. But it seems like it is only Hannes who accepts him in the first place – the others so only comment with some rude words about his handicap. A friendship is slowly growing, and as the robbings are getting to a more serious stage, it is time for the crocodiles to reunite once and for all.
