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 has hidden in a box upstairs in the costume department after a huge row at the dress rehearsal. He doesn't want to perform. This is his revenge on the two other boys. The one boy is a girl and that is exactly the problem. Ever since Viola took over the role of the third boy for the ill-fated Timm, there has been nothing but teasing, quarrelling and betrayal. Especially Martin, the number two boy, is a mean traitor. And just a few days ago, Max and Martin were best friends.
