Jugend ohne Gott

In the organizer's words:

A racist sentence in a school essay. As soon as she wants to start the red pencil, she falters. Hasn't she heard that on the radio before? So she leaves the sentence as it is, because what someone says on the radio, no teacher is allowed to cross out in the exercise book. And as she continues to read, she can always hear the radio: it howls, it barks, it barks, it threatens - and the newspapers reprint it, and the children copy it ...

In the midst of the worldwide rise of right-wing parties, Horváth's novel takes on frightening relevance. Director Markolf Naujoks takes an unsparing look at a society in transition and poses the question of individual responsibility at a time when the values of peaceful coexistence are under threat.
