Max und siebeneinhalb Jungen

DDR 1979/1980 Spielfilm

Summary


Max Stricker, an old anti-fascist, informs a class of eighth graders before their planned visit to the former concentration camp in Buchenwald. But the boys and girls are not very interested in Max′s lecture and instead stop his lecture with their constant interferences. On the trip to Buchenwald, the class roughnecks around wannabe hoodlum King also want to cause trouble. Thus, a small group of pupils secretly leaves the train before it arrives. Max notices the runaways, follows them, and offers them a bet: He challenges them to get to Weimar on their own, with only five Marks left. The boys take the offer and get on their way – alone or in small groups. On their eventful trip it becomes apparent that team spirit and considerateness are the most important things to lead them to their destination.
