Die Perlmutterfarbe

From the school bag of "Mole," one of the most popular students in Class A, a small jar of homemade pearl color goes missing. Initial suspicions are raised, distrust towards Class B grows, and the hunt for a scapegoat begins. This novel, which is an essential part of 20th-century literature, tells the story of two German school classes in the early 1930s, exploring themes of betrayal and friendship, power hunger, and solidarity. In January 2009, the film adaptation by successful director Marcus H. Rosenmüller hits theaters, bringing "The Pearl Color" to the screen after his previous work "Those Who Die Young, Live Longer" - much more than just a school story.
