A school class declares war on the bureaucracy with wit and sophistication when a petty mayor’s decision demands the killing of all cats. Max Mack shows himself to be a skilled director of young amateur actors, supported by cameraman Emil Schünemann, who photographed the exterior shots in the northern German mudflats atmospherically.
