Treasure on the Bottom of the Lake

A young boy Jampoll is spending the summer in his grandfather village where he fights criminals using his friends help. All alone and in the pouring rain, Jampoll waits in vain for his grandfather at the station until a friendly Mr. Kohlweis helps him. When he finally arrives, the grandmother warns him how much the grandfather has changed. Hardly responsive, he has retreated into his attic room. But when the old man hears about Kohlweis, he becomes furious. The DEFA film adaptation is based on the youth book of the same name by Horst Beseler. DEFA shot the film in the ruins of the Boitzenburg monastery in the Uckermark.
