Club der roten Bänder – wie alles begann

This 2019 drama is a prequel to a TV series following a group of children who are sick in the hospital.

Perhaps the most recognizable faces in this film are Tim Oliver Schultz, whom we’ve seen in Die Welle, Vampirschwestern 2, Enkel für Anfänger, and so many others and Jürgen Vogel, who was also in Die Welle, along with what feels like about half the German films made during his active years. They are both interesting to follow and play a wide range of characters throughout the years.

Because of the content of this film, it is essential to consider potential triggers before viewing this film as a class. That being said, there are some solid themes handled here, including healthcare, family life, individual and collective priorities

There are some inappropriate comments made, which may be overlooked or skipped. Shortly thereafter, there is a brief sex scene, proceeded by one of the teenagers walking in the kitchen with his headphones on. This activity is later discussed using slang terms.
