A story about dealing with one's own shadow existence. This is the tale of Konrad, an 8-year-old boy who is constantly suspected of having done something wrong. Completely unjustly, as he repeatedly assures, because it is not him who causes all the trouble - it is his shadow. Konrad has had enough of this! He wants to get rid of his shadow - but that's not so easy. By chance, Konrad discovers that he can scare away the shadow with flashlights. Now he finally has peace: the shadow has actually disappeared! However, one day Konrad finds himself in a tricky situation where his shadow unexpectedly comes to his aid. Konrad realizes that his shadow belongs to him and that sometimes he can actually make good use of it.
