When Franz discovers an influencer, Hank Haber, his two best friends Gabi and Eduard are at first sceptical. But Franz, as the smallest in class, with his unpredictable beeping voice, is very much up for any kind of advice! When Gabi is suddenly gone, the boy realizes that the seemingly simple path does not lead to the goal. Franz and Eduard set off on an adventurous journey, in search for their friend. Finally, the trio finds again what they thought they had lost: the biggest friendship that can be found in the world.
