In 1960’s rural Austria, the son of an innkeeper, known to all as the Snotty Kid, is at odds with the narrow-mindedness of his home town. But his talent for drawing offers him a way out of his discontent, as well as a small asset with Mariolina, the young gypsy girl he is attracted to. An animated film whose target audience is not necessarily the little ones, which does not avoid the use of swear words or even explicit sexuality, and tackles racial prejudice and the fight against injustice with a lot of humour.
