Content
Max, a twelve-year-old schoolboy, goes through a typical school day along with his friend Julia who is the same age. This begins with getting up in the morning and ends with the two of them on their way home from school. The story is told in two versions.
In the negative version, both children find themselves in constant conflict with their surroundings due to their bad behaviour. Whether it's Max's stressed mother, who is completely overwhelmed by her son's bad temper or their schoolteacher Mr Vogel, who wants nothing more than to start his lesson on time for once. Julia and Max move from one problematic situation to the next.
The positive version of the film shows the children in the same everyday situations. Here however, the children display completely different behaviour from the day before. They are polite, open-minded and helpful. These qualities facilitate their dealings with others. Max and Julia are met with friendliness and intrigue.
