Mirco von Juterczenka's novel "Wir Wochenendrebellen" is the story of a father and his ten-year-old son, who is Asperger's autistic. The boy has set his mind on finally finding his favourite football club. But his selection criteria are very specific and besides, he wants to experience all the clubs (no matter in which league they play) live in the stadium.
When Mirco and Fatime realize that their 15-year-old autistic son, Jason, is experiencing puberty from a perspective all his own, Mirco sees an opportunity in a new promise: Together, father and son embark on an extraordinary journey through Germany’s soccer clubs to raise funds for the construction of a well in Kenya and, in the process, test Jason’s independence.
