SAMMY & FRIDA – Chaos mit Sense

Samuel is eleven and barely ever goes outside. Too risky! He prefers a life that’s small, safe, and carefully controlled. After being seriously ill for a long time, he’s terrified of getting sick again. Then Frida crashes into his world. She’s loud, cheerful – and claims to be the “Little Reaper” in training: “Just call me Frida!” Her mission? To figure out what life really means. And somehow, Samuel is a crucial part of the program. Worst. Case. Ever. Samuel wants nothing more than to send his unwanted shadow packing. But Frida refuses to leave his side. Which means one thing: Samuel has to go outside. Together, they stumble into one adventure after another – and little by little, Samuel rediscovers how it feels to be brave, curious, and fully alive in the moment.
