action

The approximately ten-year-old children Ludvig and Alice are sitting in a rowing boat that has been pulled to the bank. Ludvig would like to go with Alice and get Alice's necklace with the silver heart as a symbol of their relationship. Alice agrees, but wants a present from Ludvig in return. After a short trial, he handed her his FC Barcelona jersey shirt, but Alice still wishes that he Under the hvide bro as a declaration of love raps . Before Ludvig can finish his rap, his parents pick him up because he still has an important appointment. Ludvig is supposed to appear at the Lilleput Concert. After a chaotic drive to the venue, Ludvig is carried in underwear by his father down a long, dark corridor with practicing musicians and quickly changed into clothes. A girl leaves the stage crying in front of Ludvig.

At the performance the audience notices with a loud laugh that Ludvig's trouser fly is open. The orchestra begins to play, but Ludvig's piano playing shows his nervousness. His piece is called Le Cœur d'argent (The Silver Heart). The conductor lets the orchestra begin a second time and Ludvig now plays without notes to the satisfaction of the conductor. Now, however, Alice enters the auditorium and silently demands her rap. Ludvig's game gets jittery again and suddenly he jumps up and raps his declaration of love to match the music. As he sprints back to his piano bench, the audience rises from their seats in excitement. He ends the performance brilliantly, but is bent because Alice has apparently left. However, the conductor will present Ludvig with the silver heart. Alice had thrown it on the stage in recognition of Ludvig's performance. Later, Alice and Ludvig meet again on the bank and seal their relationship with a kiss on the cheek. Ludvig acknowledges him with a bah and Alice suggests going to games.
