That's Gauche V1 - Breakin'

Sam’s fascination with breakdancing from watching his sister’s skilled moves to entering a school breakdance contest, where his simple worm routine surprisingly wins over flashier classmates, while flash-forwards and side scenes underline humor, embarrassment, and how style, status, and “gauche” moments shape his growing self-image.

Sam, Leo, Joe, Sera, and Robby test courage and pride on the towering rope climb, in recess scuffles, and within GT math class, where childish fights, Arnold’s confrontations, Pablo’s surprising strength, and Leo’s petty classroom authority show how ego, bravado, and loyalty collide in their fifth-grade world.

A schoolwide no-TV pledge, JJ’s hidden movie-copying setup, and debates over cheating on the challenge intertwine with Sam’s growing suspicion of others’ honesty, as errands for videotapes, shifting loyalties, and loopholes around rules reveal how the boys negotiate temptation, fairness, and their own moral gray areas.

That's Gauche V1 - Trippin'

Before a UIL meet, Leo and Sera convince Sam his sore throat might be mumps, causing him to go home, miss events, and later realize he was fine, while Sera’s injury, a high-stakes San Antonio trip, and an accidentally recycled test highlight luck, pressure, and rivalry within their math success.
