DAS SCHWEIGENDE KLASSENZIMMER

Director Lars Kraume has followed his award-winning THE PEOPLE VS. FRITZ BAUER with a tale of heroic rebellion during Germany’s postwar years – this time based on true events in the former GDR at the height of the Cold War. THE SILENT REVOLUTION centers on a group of sixth-grade pupils who decide to show their solidarity with the victims of the 1956 Hungarian uprising by staging a minute’s silence during lessons. While the school’s headmaster tries to dismiss their act as a youthful prank, the Party’s functionaries use every means at their disposal to find the ringleaders. But the teenagers stick together, even though it will mean them having to make a decision which will change their lives forever...
