Mr. Bachmann and his class

A film by Maria Speth

Back
In Stadtallendorf, a German city with a complex history regarding the integration and exclusion of foreigners, Professor Dieter Bachmann offers his students the key to a sense of belonging. Aged between 12 and 14, students come from twelve different countries and some do not yet speak the German language. Bachmann is committed to inspiring these citizens-in-construction with a sense of curiosity so that they are willing to develop a vast array of knowledge, disciplines, cultures and opinions.
