Acting
Nazi propaganda film based on the life and death of Hitler Youth Herbert "Quex" Norkus – in the film, renamed Heini Völker – who was killed while distributing flyers in a Communist neighborhood.
It can hardly be said that things are peaceful in the Berlin apartment building where the film's story takes place. There are constant clashes between the residents – and sometimes that's quite literal: for example, when the widow Bock hid some explosives among the bricks, which detonated when the building's thieving doorman lit them in his stove.
