Storyline

It´s not easy having a name like Aksel and being a Danish kid who loves pork meatballs when you´d rather hang out with the cool Muslim guys from down the block, wear necklaces and say clever things in Ababic. Nor is it easy going to an after-shool club for a whole week because it´s Fall break when you were supposed to go on holiday with your Dad but instead end up in a trio with Annika and Fatima, two girls who want to sing girlie pop at the club song contest. When a stray dog gets in the way and Fatima gets grounded, in all probability screwing up their appearance at the song contest, something has to be done! Aksel decides to take action, entering an unkown World of rituals and rules, sorting out the song contest, the dog and the grounding problem in his very own way.
