Everyone is different, and everyone wants to feel at home somewhere. This is shown in these short, colorful, and lighthearted animations where animals take center stage.

Ella loves playing football, but only by herself. She finds most people strange. Sometimes they just repeat each other, like her three uncles at her grandmother’s place. Other times, they argue, like the girls on the football field, or her parents. The only person she feels comfortable with is her favorite uncle and best friend, Tommy. That is, until Tommy’s new love, Steve from Berlin, shows up. Together with her classmate Otto, Ella tries to sideline Steve. But is Steve really so bad? The “Get Rid of Steve” project turns around when Ella rushes to bring Steve back from the airport so Tommy can propose to him.
