Handling:
Siegfried Lenz' klassiker 'Tysktime' er kongenialt filmatiseret af Christian Schwochow – i forjættende smukke billeder, med Sonja Richter på rollelisten og delvist optaget ved det danske vadehav. Vi starter lige efter Anden Verdenskrig, hvor den unge Siggi Jepsen er sendt til en anstalt for adfærdsvanskelige unge. I tysktimen skal han skrive om 'Pligtens glæder´, men han kan ikke komme i gang med opgaven. Så i stedet begynder han at skrive om sin opvækst i den nordtysk landsby Rugbüll ved den dansk-tyske grænse, hvor hans far er politibetjent og nidkært overvåger, at den lokale kunstner Nansen overholder nazisternes maleforbud. Ud over sit frapperende familiedrama byder filmen også en på én gang storslået og humoristisk beskrivelse af marsken og dens befolkning midt i krigens vanvid.
Plot (English):
Siggi Jepsen is in Germany after the war in an institution for difficult to educate young people. He is to write an essay on the subject ”The pleasures of duty”, but has no idea. Only when he is locked in a cell the next day, the memories of his childhood during the Second World War break out of him: His father Jens Ole Jepsen, a police officer, was then commissioned to bring the friendly expressionist painter Ludwig Nansen a professional ban, At Nansen's surveillance, Siggi was supposed to help him at the time, but eventually he rebelled against his father, sided with the recalcitrant Nansen and hid some of the forbidden pictures, eventually leading to his stay in the asylum.
