Following the tragic loss of his bicycle to the local bully, Alex heads home for council from his father, hearing the story of Achilles and preparing to do battle again to win his bike back with compassion instead of violence.
Ten-year-old Alex gets his bike stolen by the well-known bully Georg. Alex's father tries to calm his son's furiosity about this theft by telling him an epic bedtime story: the story of the Siege of Troy and the Greek hero Achilles. Alex imagines his friends and himself to be part of the story and thus experiences the rise and fall of the great Achilles vividly.—Eumel Film
