The film features the further humorous adventures of Ranta, a boy so tall he could be tying ties for giraffes. Everything seems to be going well for him, until his easy, early summer weeks are shaken up by unanticipated schoolwork, troubles on the romantic front, and problems in basketball. Ranta needs to figure some things out by himself and do some growing up.

"The main challenge in making the film was how to capture the magical youthful energy that comes with the ups and downs of growing up. We wanted the audience of all ages to come out of the cinema with a smile on their faces and a warm feeling in their hearts, richer with a new experience," says the director Boris Bezić.

The cast remains the same as in the first part, meaning Klemen Kostrevc plays the main role, joining Matija Brodnik and Gaja Filač with other well known Slovenian actors Marko Miladinović, Lado Bizovičar, Gojmir Lešnjak, Matjaž Javšnik and Mojca Funkel.

The film was produced by Frenk Celarc through Gustav Film in coproduction with RTV Slovenija, MB Grip, Studio Ritem, Unicasting, PECL and Art Rebel 9, with the support of the Slovenian Film Centre in the amount of 89,818 EUR. The total budget is 845,846 EUR. "Gustav Film contributed 148,838 EUR, RTV Slovenija 370,000 EUR, MB Grip 112,300 EUR, Studio Ritem 53,450 EUR, Unicasting 37,000 EUR, Pecl 22,454 EUR and Art Rebel 9 11,990 EUR," producer Frenk Celarc told FNE.
