The Tin Drum is the 1979 film adaptation of the novel by Günter Grass by Volker Schlöndorff. On his third birthday, Oskar Matzerath, born in the Free City of Danzig (Gdansk) in 1924, refused to allow further growth and participation in the adult world. The eternal child expresses his protest against Nazis and sympathizers on his tin drum, and only after the war ends does Oskar decide to grow again - and to have a say.

The film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980 at the 52nd Academy Awards.
