Jugend ohne Gott

A teacher finds himself in a conflict between his own moral stance and the social expectations of his time. When he refuses to accept the racist and inhumane views of his students, he becomes increasingly isolated. During a tent camp that serves as a military education for the young people, events come to a head: A murder occurs and the teacher unwittingly becomes an accomplice in a web of betrayal, mistrust and guilt.

In his search for truth and moral action, he is confronted with the question of how to assert oneself in a world full of inhumanity - and what it means to take responsibility for one's own involvement in an injustice. Youth Without God is a timeless parable about the manipulability of people and the need for civil courage.

Horváth's work remains frighteningly relevant and poses the pressing question: What happens when societies give up their values and moral action becomes a risk?
