Music between Ennio Morricone and Charles Gounod with reminiscences of the music of the film "Stalingrad". Enjott Schneider has done it again: he added just the right musical touch to a very emotional film. The television film by Jo Baier, several times winner of the renowned Adolf Grimme Award, is the story of a common practice in Tyrol and Switzerland in the 19th century, which can be proven up to the 1930s: the renting or even selling of children from poor peasants' families at children's markets in Swabia as cheap labor. - A film with Tobias Moretti, Vadim Glowna and Jürgen Tarrach. Booklet contains liner notes in German only.
