Short Summary (English)
The children of Golzow are teenagers now and don’t want to answer all the questions and feel a little annoyed at being filmed. However, as FDJ youth organization members and candidates for the youth ceremony that would give them adult status, they experience GDR typical events at that age, including a visit of Weimar - the city of the humanistic classical authors Goethe and Schiller - and a visit of the concentration camp in Sachsenhausen. The eight grade is also an important year; the students have to decide if they will leave school and learn a profession or continue in preparation for the university until 10th or 12th grade.
