ZAHN UM ZAHN (Tit for Tat)
by Ivana Lalovic
17 year old Tobi shaves his hair off in order to become a member of a neonazi-gang.
But "unfortunately" he then rescues a little black girl, who starts following him.
With her in tow, Tobi gets from one problem into an other.
Torn between ideology and humanity, Tobi needs to solve the situation.
