When Salim appears in Hannes’s and his sister Tammi’s lives, everything changes. Salim doesn’t speak a word of German, but they know that friends don’t need to speak the same language to be able to understand each other. Gradually, the pair learns why it is that Salim always stands by the school fence on his own. And sometimes hides in cupboards. And why he’s so dreadfully afraid. Salim is a refugee from Syria. On the long journey to Europe he has lost the most important thing of all: his family.
