L'Enfance volée (Der Verdingbub) est un film dramatique suisse-alémanique réalisé par Markus Imboden, sorti en 2011.

L'histoire de ce film s'inspire des Verdingkinder, enfants placés en Suisse entre 1880 et 1950.

Synopsis

Dans les années 1950, un adolescent orphelin quitte le foyer dans lequel il est élevé pour être placé dans une famille de fermiers qui reçoit de l'argent en compensation de son accueil. Il passe des moments difficiles dans cet environnement dur et voit arriver un peu plus tard une jeune fille un peu plus jeune que lui et qui est placée là parce que sa mère ne peut plus subvenir à ses besoins et à ceux de ses deux petites sœurs. Le jeune homme est passionné de musique et joue remarquablement de l'accordéon. Un jour, après avoir entendu à la radio un morceau de bandonéon argentin, il rêve de quitter cet environnement, dans lequel on le traite comme un animal, pour aller en Argentine, là où la vie lui semble plus facile. La fille est du même avis et rêve de partir avec lui.

Axel (played by Til Schweiger) has just been dumped by his girlfriend Doro (Katja Riemann), and needs to find a new place to live. He meets Walter (Rufus Beck), a transvestite who teaches straight men how gay men think. Walter talks Axel into joining him and some friends at a gay party afterwards, and tries to convince Axel to move in with him. At the party, Axel decides instead to move in with Walter's best friend, Norbert (Joachim Król), whose boyfriend has just left him. Later, at Axel and Doro's apartment, Norbert tries to seduce Axel while they browse old photos. Just when Norbert has shed all his clothes, Doro shows up at the door, and Axel hastily hides Norbert. Doro explains to Axel that she's expecting his child and wants to give their relationship a second chance. She is not amused to discover a naked man in the wardrobe, but Axel manages to convince her that nothing has happened.

A scientist named Dr. Sanjay Mehra (director Rakesh Roshan) creates a computer program from which he sends variations of the syllable om into space, hoping to attract the attention of extraterrestrial life.

His mother raises him in the town of Kasauli, where he grows up to be a man of limited intellect and childish personality, but with a loving and emotional heart.
