A childhood after the war: The leather pants are bought in a flea market behind the church, food is scarce and going to a movie is not even in the picture. But Hansi and his three best friends always have a solution up their sleeves. They find some excitement with no money at all. They explore ruins, secret tunnels, old buildings; and sneak into the public pool, drink secretly from the beer they have to buy and dream about careers as soccer stars.
Olaf Maly tells amusing, realistic short stories from old Munich. They arouse memories of a time when little boys could survive an adventure and didn't have to fear anything. Except their mothers or a few girls. Although these stories play in Munich, the content is certainly universal.
