action
With Oh, this youth, actor Maximilian Krone wrote a piece for amateur theater that the head of the family Franz Bach wants to perform with his wife Margarete, their sons Klaus and Täve, his daughter-in-law Irene and daughter Sabine. Täve's best friend Atze is also part of the party. Among other things, the upcoming camping weekend at Müggelsee should be practiced . Among other things, the play deals with the relationship between their daughter and a young man, which her parents do not understand . Margarete also really worries about Sabine, who will soon be 17 and already has a friend in the future pharmacist Sigi. She is behaving increasingly rebellious and unruly. What the parents don't know is that Sabine actually met the youngsters Otto Hecht, called Pepe, and Freddy Penner in a café. She revealed to both of them where she's going to take a short vacation and so the Bach family at Müggelsee almost hit the ground when they saw Sabine talking to Freddy and Pepe. Above all, Franz, who has already practiced tolerance in view of the piece, now forbids Sabine to interact with the two boys. Sabine's over-correct and almost exaggeratedly polite, but weak friend Sigi, in turn, makes Täve and Atze more cheerful.
Pepe and Freddy rent a sailing boat. When Sabine swims too far out into the lake and is close to the boat, she pretends to have a leg cramp and is pulled onto the boat by Pepe. Sigi, who had stated that he was a lifeguard on the bank, returns to the bank without power and reports to the Bachs that Sabine was kidnapped by the youngsters. In reality, Sabine makes friends mainly with Pepe. He has no parents, works and, unlike Freddy, is intelligent. He could attend a technical school from his company, but refused because he could not earn any money during that time. With his income he supports Freddy, among others, who earns only a fraction of his salary. Just as Sabine and Pepe get closer, the excited Bach family appears. Sigi wants to pounce on Pepe, who throws him into the Müggelsee. Täve and Atze, on the other hand, are chased by Freddy and so Sabine leaves Pepe disappointed in the end. During the night, Freddy takes revenge on the Bach. He brings down the parents' tent and throws paint into Täve and Atze's tent. Pepe slept through the action and didn't know anything. However, the Bachs who saw Freddy laughing believe that Pepe was also involved in the robbery. Täve and Atze take revenge in their own way, destroy the interior of Pepes holiday bungalow and spill ink.
The weekend will soon be over and everyday life is calling. The Bach family is rehearsing their play again, but Klaus cannot identify with the role of the youngster Egon, especially since as Egon he would also have to kiss his sister Sabine. Rehearsals are interrupted when Pepe appears in the Bach's garden. He is verbally abused by the family, but apologizes for his behavior at the lake. He doesn't know anything about Freddy's action, but suggests that Täve and Atze will certainly have blue fingers after their action. In fact, Täve's fingers are smeared with ink and Franz is ashamed. He asks Pepe's employer about his behavior and only hears good things. He wants to help him. In a letter, he asks Pepe to meet with him. Sabine secretly writes that Pepe should appear on Sunday morning and so a little later Pepe is surprisingly in a suit and with flowers at the door of the Bach. After a brief irritation, he is let in and the conversation develops positively. Freddy, who has secretly followed Pepe, finds a place at the lunch table a little later, and Maximilian Krone is also invited. He realizes that Pepe should take on the role of Egon. Pepe refuses at first, after all, on Franz's advice, he really wants to attend the technical school from spring. But then the Bachs will be rehearsing a new piece and so the premiere will finally take place with Pepe as Egon. The piece is a great success and Pepe and Sabine improvise the last scene with a long kiss, which can only be ended when the curtain falls.
