User review:
13 year old Jochum lives with his single mother and her boyfriend in a poor urban neighborhood somewhere in modern Germany. Without much pocket money he resorts to petty theft and is soon exploited by an older boy who encourages him to steal ever more expensive items. Of course he is soon caught and eventually ends up in reform school.
The drama searches the root causes of his situation; an extremely important and topical theme. The mother seems to care more about her boyfriend and his business than the welfare of her son – but perhaps she is only trying to survive. The warden believes that some boys are simply born and bred to be offenders whilst his more liberal assistant thinks that harsh treatment merely encourages dissent. We are left to make up our own minds on the matter for there can be no other conclusion than the sad injustice of wasted youth.
Excellent acting and some sharp editing techniques make this drama very watchable and rewarding. But ultimately it lacks the depth of insight that a really great study would need. We are given little insight into the lives of the other boys and so any comparative analysis can only be superficial. Recommended for parents of young teenagers who might be having family difficulties themselves.

Hello, I’m very sorry – but this is “Rolltreppe abwärts 2005”!!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451186/
Please watch the last seconds of the final credits!
Yes, there is a movie with the same name made in 1990
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22398698/
This might be a reason for this mix-up…
By the way: Other sources say that the movie by Martin Ruffert is already made in 1987…
But the main thing:
Thank you very much for sharing!!!
This is the 2005-2006 version not the 1990 television version. I would very much like to see the 1990 version if anyone has it.
Thanks
Yes, this is the 2005 version, The 1990 is ultra rare.
Thank you for everyone for the feedback and sorry for my mistake 🙁
It’s ok thanks for your contribution!
The 1987 version was made by a team of pupils from a Highschool (Gymnasium) in St. Augustin (near Bonn). There are not even some pics or screenshots to be found!
Very difficult to find, i think it doesnt have been released in vhs even in Germany.
On sensitivecontent.info is the movie listed. So someone must have the Video. Hope so that someone will post it. I would pay for this video.
