The Inheritors (1983) Official Trailer

The Inheritors (1983) Director: Walter Bannert The Inheritors focuses on Thomas Feigl (Nikolas Vogel, who had also appeared in Was kostet der Sieg?), a 16-year-old budding photographer in a city that Bannert intentionally and pointedly leaves unidentified. Thomas has an unhappy home life with his distracted businessman father (Jaromir Borek) and his overbearing mother (Anneliese Stoeckl-Eberhard), who continuously harasses Thomas and his sensitive younger brother Ernst (Klaus Novak). One day, he helps another teen, Charly (Roger Schauer), evade the police, and the two quickly bond; Charly and his family are suffering at the hands of his violent, alcoholic father (Frank Dietrich). Thomas’ new friend introduces him to a youth club run by the National Unity Party—a neo-Nazi group—and Thomas is seduced by the camaraderie he finds there, along with the intoxication of power.
