Twelve-year-old Ben and eleven-year-old Tariq are new at their school and also new at their football club. They also have another thing in common: they have both lost their homes – Ben’s home village had to give place to an brown coal opencast mine and Tariq flew from Syria to Germany because of the war. The two quickly became friends. But Tariq steals the show from his friend on the football field and is way more popular in class than Ben. Can Ben manage to step out of his friend’s shadow? Or is this competitive thinking not even necessary?
