Rolltreppe Abwärts (1990)

A 13-year-old boy lives with his divorced mother, who has few feelings for him and does not understand him. He allows himself to be tempted to shoplifting by a classmate, the arrogant son of a lawyer, and increasingly gets on the wrong track. The welfare education in the home with its failed methods does not do anything good: at the age of 14 he ends up in a youth prison. Based on the well-known youth book by Hans Georg Noack, the Film-AG of the Rhein-Sieg-Gymnasium St. Augustin near Bonn created this film.
