Dangerous Games

The story revolves around ten-year-old Peter, who lives in a small town with his parents. His father is an underground Communist, which sets the stage for the film's exploration of political themes through the eyes of children. During summer vacation, the neighborhood kids engage in team battles, with one group mimicking Nazis and the other reflecting Peter's father's Communist ideals.

Dangerous Games features performances from Jenny Gröllmann, Ernst Meincke, Gerald Schaale, Jörg Panknin, and Willi Schrade. Its unique perspective on childhood and political strife makes it a notable entry in the drama genre of the early 1980s.
