synopsis
Die Suendige Glenze (Border of Sin) is set in a shabby, poverty-stricken German border town. Facing starvation, a group of schoolchildren participate in a profitable smuggling operation. The village's new teacher (Dieter Borsch) hopes to put an end to the kids' criminal activities and find another means of replenishing the local economy. Along the way, he falls in love with local girl Marianne (Inge Egger). Much of the film is corny and contrived, save for the riveting performance by Jan Hendricks as the unregenerate teen-aged leader of the smuggling ring.
