Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt's the story of Ernst Lossa born in 1929 in Augsburg. Lossa was a member of the Yenish, who are a group of Germans who have their own dialect of that language and who travel from place to place. (Perhaps the most comparable English-speaking group are the Irish Travelers.) Lossa was a bad kid, whose father ended up in Dachau at least twice (although he was released). After committing many petty crimes, he ended up at a sanitorium called Kaufbeuren, which is still in operation today.

Featured review
A horrible and dark subject
A horrible and dark subject. Urgent and yet reserved. Around 1940 little Ernst was admitted to a mental hospital. The diagnosis: "not educable". But in the institution the patients are systematically killed. A process that is supposed to help rid the German race of hereditary diseases in the Third Reich. A film that is badly affected and gets under the skin.
