Set in 1938 in a port city on the Rhine and Ruhr, a drama told through chilling vignettes which are narrated by two separate strands of voiceovers--one from an introspective schoolteacher, Pabst, and the other from one of his students who keeps a diary. Via this device, it becomes vividly apparent that Pabst's class of adolescent boys consists entirely of Aryan weasels inculcated with Nazi beliefs.
