Mia and Karo are 10 years old and inseparable. They spend every free minute at the playground by the roundabout. Karo loves to tease others – especially Miriam, who has no friends at school. But sometimes she goes too far. When Mia secretly undoes one of Karo’s pranks and gets caught, everything changes between the two friends.
