About
The drama „Das schweigende Klassenzimmer“ is set in 1956: after a cinema visit in West Berlin, the pupils Theo and Kurt see dramatic newsreel images of the Hungarian uprising in Budapest. Back in Stalinstadt, where they are preparing for their school-leaving exams with classmates Lena, Paul and Erik, they come up with the plan of a silent minute of solidarity in class for the victims of the uprising against the Russian superiority. The SED leadership condemns the quiet gesture as a „counter-revolutionary action“, and the minute of silence turns into a conflict with the state authorities. For the young people, the action becomes an experience that shapes the rest of their lives.

Critics
7.4Very good
Critics praise the convincing portrayal of East German conditions, gripping drama and strong young actors. Faults include a lack of period atmosphere, an overly tidy love triangle, and some find the direction formulaic.
