Amelie (13) is a genuine big-city brat and probably the most stubborn girl in all of Berlin. Amelie doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do, least of all her parents, who ship her off to a special clinic in the mountains after an asthma attack. Exactly what Amelie definitely doesn’t want. But instead of getting help at the clinic, she runs off and flees to a place where certainly no one would expect to find her: the top of the mountain. In the middle of the Alps she meets a quirky boy with the strange name of Bart. When the unsolicited companion saves her life, Amelie realizes that Bart is a lot cooler than she first thought. Together, they take off on an adventurous journey of hopeful miracles and true friendship
