Summary: From case cover: This Weimar era film classic uses an avant-garde, fragmented narrative to tell the story of a working-class family in Berlin in 1931. Survival is difficult, with massive unemployment during the Great Depression. After Anni's brother commits suicide in despair, her family finds itself forced to move to Kuhle Wampe, a lakeside camp on the outskirts of Berlin, now home to increasing numbers of unemployed. When Anni ends her relationship with Fritz, she moves back to Berlin and gets involved in the workers' youth movement. Already censored in March 1932, the film was then banned by the Nazis in 1933 for having "communist tendencies".
