Nine year old Moritz Zack likes to take things slowly. He enjoys life and looks at everything very carefully. Moritz also has a lot of imagination , but these are qualities that are not in demand in everyday life.

Everyone around Moritz is just rushing. The Zack family is big: In addition to his father and mother, Moritz has three sisters. The father is a savings bank director and a very pedantic person, for whom numbers are everything (“Numbers are the basic building blocks of life.”), A sign with the words Please do not disturb hangs on his study . Nobody in the Zack family really understands Moritz, only his aunt Pia can understand his approach to life.

Moritz doesn't go down very well at school either. In mathematics teaching Moritz makes Although all tasks properly, but it is much too slow. In art class Moritz shows his great imagination, which the teacher refuses. For them everything has to be painted real.

The bad math grades have to be signed by the parents. Moritz throws the math notebook into the stream.
