Two old school friends, both in their late twenties. One lives on his parent’s rural estate and does nothing; the other half-heartedly pursues work as a journalist in Düsseldorf.

Teenage Wolfpack is a West German juvenile delinquency film. It deals with the problems of a growing materialist middle class. It is more in the vain of movies like Rebel Without a Cause than say the exploitative Teen Age Crime Wave (although, in the US it was promoted more in the latter's category (and in another side-note, I personally like Teen Age Crime Wave)). The film also launched the stardom of Horst Buchholz, who was called the German James Dean. The film is gritty, edgy, and struck a chord with West Germany's youth. It still packs a punch.
