‘Tschappel’ is a Swabian term of endearment for a ‘fool’ or ‘idiot,’ and that’s exactly what the 18-year-old Carlo Brenner (Jeremias Meyer) is in the eight-part comedy series. Together with his best friends Blabla (Sebastian Doppelbauer) and Aydin (David Ali Rashed), he hangs out in his Upper Swabian hometown.

Carlo is searching for himself, doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life, and hasn’t had sex yet. However, he has plenty of ideas for how to kill the boredom in his village. They’re not always good ideas—just like a typical ‘Tschappel!'”
