V hlave Benjamína Chrumku neustále víria myšlienky a otázky: Prečo sa červené pandy nevolajú radšej oranžové pandy? Dokáže korytnačka predbehnúť zajaca? Sú svätojánske mušky horúce, keď svetielkujú? Benjamín so svojou nezastaviteľnou a bystrou mysľou sa však stretáva s nepochopením a jeho výnimočný spôsob vnímania sveta mu v každodennom živote spôsobuje problémy. Až keď si uvedomí, že odlišnosť je v skutočnosti jeho najväčšou výhodou, nájde si Benjamín svoje miesto pod slnkom. Inšpiratívny príbeh o tom, ako uchopiť inakosť a odhaliť svoj potenciál.
