Eight children between four and eleven years old move into a new housing development. They go to the same school and play together. There's the boy Petja and his friends Vincent, Laurin and Maus, and the girl Tara and her friends Tieneke, Fritzi and Jul. They often have different opinions and it doesn't always turn out to be fun. But Möwenweg is ultimately always the most beautiful place in the world.
