Content:

The premiere of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Magic Flute" is in two hours. But one of the three boys has disappeared. It's Max, who hid in a box upstairs in the costume shop after a huge row at the dress rehearsal. He doesn't want to perform. This is his revenge on the two other boys. One of the boys is a girl and that's the problem. Ever since Viola took over the role of the third boy for the injured Timm, there has been nothing but teasing, arguments and betrayal. Martin in particular, the second boy, is a mean traitor. And just a few days ago, Max and Martin were best friends.
