Das schweigende Klassenzimmer = The silent revolution / Studiocanal presents an Akzente production in co-production with Zero One Film, Studiocanal Film, Wunderwerk and ZDF ; written and directed by Lars Kraume.
During a visit to the cinema in West Berlin, high school students Theo and Kurt see dramatic newsreel footage of the Hungarian uprising in Budapest. Back at school in Stalinstadt, they spontaneously decide to hold a moment of silence in solidarity with the victims of the uprising. The gesture causes bigger ripples than expected.
