SKINOPSIS

Angela Winkler will have you wanking over her creamy, tan-lined ass and side boobage in a hot sex scene.
REVIEW
This powerful adaptation of Gunter Grass' masterpiece is about a young boy, disgusted by the rising tide of Nazism, who wills himself to stop growing. A mesmerizing "realistic fantasy" with an extraordinary piece of acting by 12-year-old Bennett as the determined dwarf. (German with English subtitles)
