Some older choirboys may wonder about their inconspicuous appearance in a post-war TV "flick". That choral film collage looks a bit like a rip off. Unclear if those fellas were Thomaner or Domspatzen or whatsoever back then. So don't be disturbed by some mixed (up) material.
Now to the point. It's called verisimilitude: I have noticed no more than one, let me repeat - ONE - child actor without a false Saxon accent. Only that one has a natural dialect and promptly it is from the Ore Mountains / Saxony's Switzerland region. Not a dialect from Leipzig where the story takes place. Seconds later he is gone. Well then cheers and have fun with some odd conversations about brown coal, always available pennants and other stuff from "Aytsh Oh" outlets.
At least the actors aren't so fat as they are nowadays.
