Der Prank

An April Fool's joke that gets out of hand draws twelve-year-old Lucas and his chaotic guest student Xi Zhou into a maelstrom of gangsters, money and misadventures - a fast-paced comedy about friendship, family and the power of another prank to save everything.

An out-of-control April Fool's joke by Chinese guest student Xi Zhōu (12) catapults Lucas (12) and his family out of their everyday lives. A swapped pizza box full of money not only calls a troupe of gangster rappers led by the famous Miss Nelly into action, but also the real mafia and a clumsy police duo. The crazy adventure pulls the two dissimilar boys into a maelstrom of ever more dangerous events. Together with his crush Charly (Charlotte) and Xi, Lucas tries to untangle the chaos. It soon becomes clear that they need one last, ingenious PRANK to get rid of the ghosts they have summoned.
