Synopsis

Oskar, born in Danzig in 1924 is an incredibly precocious child. At age three, he puts an abrupt end to his physical development by throwing himself down a flight of stairs.
On his little drum, which never leaves his side, Oscar beats out the pulse of events that were to rattle Germany and the world to its core.
Because the running time of the film Volker Schlöndorff had envisaged exceeded that stipulated in the initial distribution agreement, he had to cut it down by half an hour. The remastered director's cut presents for the first time the film he had originally intended to make.
