Me and Charly is a coming-of-age drama that follows the unlikely friendship between two teenage boys from different walks of life. Steffen, a good-hearted but aimless young man, lives with his mother, a journalist, and struggles to find his place in the world. Charly, a rough-around-the-edges reform school student, has a troubled past and a penchant for getting into trouble. Despite their differences, they form a strong bond that challenges their perspectives and loyalties. As they navigate their way through life's obstacles, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, love, and the true meaning of family.
