SECHSE KOMMEN DURCH DIE WELT

SIX GO ROUND THE WORLD

Rainer Simon

GDR, 1972, 69 Min

Dagmar Bingel

The king discharges his soldiers without adequate pay after they have fought for his honour. Only one man dares to speak out against the injustice, an act of insolence that sees him thrown into the dungeon. In his hour of need however this lone fighter makes the acquaintance of friends with extraordinary abilities and together they are able to outsmart the rapacious king. A film to keep viewers both young and old entertained, the latter by a social satire that has lost none of its relevance.
