Lenka, a girl curvier than average, is often mocked by children – just like Palko, a boy skinnier than average. Lenka draws her wonderful pictures alone, while Palko's companionship is made up of books. The two kids meet on the playground, marvel at each other, and from then on neither of them is lonely or excluded anymore, as they have a real friend. They don’t mind the curvy or skinny figure of the other and then manage to accept themselves as well, and self-acceptance is one of the greatest steps a person takes towards a relaxed and happy life.
