What is The it-doesn't-matter suit about?
Max Nix lives with his parents and six brothers in the small village of Winkelburg.

Inside may be the answer to Max’s wish, but the remarkable suit brings unexpected excitement to the whole family in this warm and imaginative story about hope, individuality and belonging.
