Dir: Lars Kraume, colour, 111 min, Germany 2018
Kurt and Theo are classmates and best friends. In 1956 they are about to finish school in Stalinstadt, in the GDR. On one of their secret excursions to West Berlin to go to the cinema, they see disturbing images of an uprising in Hungary in the newsreel “Wochenschau”. The students are impressed by the young Hungarians, who fight for their freedom and they decide to show their solidarity. In class, they hold a minute’s silence in honour of the victims. Little do they know how much trouble their seemingly harmless act of solidarity will mean for their future…
