Stephan ist 16 und verliebt. Früher war er regelmäßig in Mädchen verknallt wie ein normaler Junge, aber in letzter Zeit ist es Lars, der ihm den Kopf verdreht. Stephan lässt sich gern den Kopf von Jungen verdrehen. Das darf aber niemand wissen, denn es sind die 80er, und auch in Bochum kriegen Schwule AIDS. Aber gegen die Liebe zieht die Vernunft immer den Kürzeren. Vorsichtig baut Stephan eine wackelige Freundschaft zu Lars auf, während ihn andauernd irgendwelche Mädchen küssen wollen. Letzteres ist zwar schmeichelhaft für Stephan, in der Sache aber eher hinderlich. Er will doch nur eins! Aber dafür müsste er den Mut aufbringen, alles auf eine Karte zu setzen ... Diese Zeitreise in die späten Achtzigerjahre gerät zu einer stürmischen Achterbahnfahrt durch die Irrungen und Wirrungen der ersten großen Liebe, die irgendwie gar nicht so sein will wie im Film.
