Drama Berlin, year 1956. A group of sixth-grade german pupils decide to show their solidarity with the victims of the 1956 Hungarian uprising by staging a minute's silence during lessons.

	Author	Review
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"An anodyne, deeply respectful mainstream retelling of a fascinating footnote in East German history (...) Subtlety is not Kraume’s strong suit"	NEG
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] deftly lays out the story’s complex socio-political and historical background (...) The feature becomes more problematic in its second half, which is increasingly melodramatic and on-the-nose"	NEU
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A solid, good-looking piece of filmmaking which is elevated by a clutch of strong performances from the young cast."	POS
