The year is 1956. During a visit to the cinema in West Berlin, high school pupils Theo and Kurt see dramatic pictures of the Hungarian uprising in Budapest on the newsreel. Back at school in Stalinstadt, they spontaneously decide to hold a minute’s silent in solidarity with the victims of the uprising during a lesson. But gesture causes much bigger ripples than expected: while their headmaster initially tries to put the whole thing down to the whim of youth the school children become objects of the political machinations of the fledgling East Germany. The People’s demands that the ringleader be named within a week. But the schoolchildren stick together, thus facing with a decision that will change their lives forever…
