"The Tin Drum" tells about Oscar, a child in Danzig at the end of the 1920s who decides to stop growing as a protest against the rise of Nazism and chooses to express himself only through shouting and banging on his tin drum. Winner of a number of international cinema prizes, among them an Academy Award for "Best Foreign Film".
