Fiete im Netz (Fiete in the Net) is a 1957 East German drama film. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

Filmdienst described the film as follows "Children's film that tells slowly and precisely, without any sensationalism, how a nine-year-old angler allows himself to be persuaded by two bullies to hide their evil prank of drowning a drake. His guilty conscience and a new evil act then make him reveal the truth." [5]

The film, Siegfried Hartmann's directorial feature debut, "received harsh, ideological scolding because of a “lack of relevance to the times.”' [6] [7]
