Der tapfere Schulschwänzer

The video shows the first five minutes of the film.

Film synopsis: Thomas, a schoolboy from grade 4a, ditches school on a sunny day and spends his time in the streets of Berlin. Then, he suddenly discovers a burning flat and immediately calls the fire brigade. His quick help helps to save the lives of two small children. But when a fire-fighter wants to thank him and asks for his name, little Thomas runs away – he has a guilty conscience for ditching school. On the next day, his good deed is praised in the newspaper and his teacher talks about the anonymous lifesaver in class. Thomas does not know how to react, because he said that he missed school because of a tooth ache. But in the end, Thomas admits his lie to the fire-fighters, who in the meantime have detected the lifesaver.
