Nein. Axels Leben ist wahrlich kein Märchen. Dürfen wir vorstellen? Axel: Hasenfuß, Spinner, Tagträumer. In seiner selbstmodellierten Fantasiewelt ist alles so viel besser als in der Realität. Hier lässt er sich nicht von Manne, dem Besitzer der örtlichen Hühnerfarm und des Spielcasinos, knechten. Hier hat er keine Spielschulden und muss auch keine Klos schrubben. Die Bewohner der kleinen Siedlung verarschen ihn nicht, Tante Vera hält endlich mal ihren Mund und die süße Jenny ist ihm komplett verfallen. Genug geträumt! Als Axel im schrulligen Karl-May-Fan Heiner einen "Blutsbruder" findet, wendet sich das Blatt. Wie Winnetou und Old Shatterhand stellen sie sich ihren Feinden und dem echten Leben. Howgh!
Modernes Märchen um einen Schuldner und Tagträumer, der eines Tages doch noch zu einem Held wird.
Axel lives in a poor village where people work days at the chicken farm and gamble their last pennies at night. It's made Manne, the farm and casino owner, a very powerful man. Axel's debts are so great he has to do whatever Manne says. So he works in Manne's villa but can at least see his childhood love Jenny, who is now Manne's girlfriend. Axel seeks refuge in his imagination. He has rebuilt the entire village as a model in his cottage. Here, he is king, his word is law. Here, he saves Jenny from Manne and sends him running. One day Axel finds a friend, his neighbor Heiner, a strange guy who constantly quotes Karl May and talks happily with his chicken. Only by joining forces will they bring Manne's empire crashing down.
