Details: GDR 1982, East Berlin: Schoolboy Peter Grimm rebels against the dictatorship of opinion in a state that suffocates him. Through the oppositional family of Robert Havemann, he finds many new friends and like-minded people who share his desire for freedom. As a result, he is expelled from school and denied his Abitur (A-levels) due to his "moral and characterological attitude." But Peter remains true to his ideals: together with friends, he publishes the illegal newspaper "Grenzfall" (Borderline Case), which reports uncensored on social problems that the authorities want to conceal at all costs. "Grenzfall" develops into an unofficial bestseller, passed from hand to hand throughout the GDR. The Stasi eventually deploys its entire surveillance apparatus to stop "Grenzfall." Even within the inner circle of the "Grenzfall" group, there is a traitor who supplies information to the Stasi. A devastating blow against the "enemies of the state" is initiated. Supported by funds from the Federal Foundation for the Reappraisal of the SED Dictatorship. "A captivating narrative," Der Tagesspiegel "History in an entertaining form," DDR-Museum "Grenzfall is a comic that should be required reading in every history class and, furthermore, belongs in every sophisticated comic library," Strapazin 09/2011
