In the Ruhr region during the 1980s, four teenage friends—Frank, Spüli, Mücke, and Pommes—struggle to make contact with girls. Advice from their parents and teachers proves little help.

The friends try to find ways to make an impression, including dance routines and ideas about playing music, but these efforts do not bring the success they want.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

Four teenage friends, Frank, Spüli, Mücke, and Pommes, try to make contact with girls. In the Ruhr region in the 1980s, that is not so easy. The advice their parents and teachers give them is of little help to the four friends in this situation. Frank would like to get together with the pretty Carola, and the other three also have memorable encounters with potential partners. Now the four young ruffians have to come up with something, but dance routines and ideas about making an impression by playing music do not lead to the desired success.
