Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life and anyone who loves a strong drama. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as Belfast.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 47 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In August of 1914, amidst the public ecstasy surrounding the impending war, Hans Gastl, the young son of a Munich bürger, makes a decision: he will not take part in this war. This resolution signifies a turning point in his life; a farewell to his class and his family.
