A German reader has provided information about Die Ministranten. It was made in 1989/1990 by Wolfram Paulus, an Austrian. Two boys (Pauli a 11 and Sepp a 12 year-old) of an Austrian village in the "Salzburger Land" get to know each other in the lessons for acolytes (altar boys). They are founding a gang called "Die Wölfe" (The Wolves). Their aim is it to fight the boys of the neighbouring village. However, on Easter Day of 1962, when they launch their campaign, they are defeated by the others. It's a film about the
ending of childhood. It is similar to the French film, La guerre des boutons, that has a similar story.

I have not seen the film yet, but I had the chance to take a look at some
pictures. According to these, six boys are involved: Hausteiner (Bernd Ludl),
Sepp (Gerald Bachler), Stoff (Franz Brandauer), Mescht (Nikolaus Dobrowolsky),
Pauli (Christoph Schnell) and Bartl (Stefan Steger). It could be that
"Hausteiner" and "Mescht" are belonging to the neighbouring villagers, as they
have both surnames.

Hausteiner is wearing a blue and white shirt, with a grey jacket and Lederhosen
(leather pants). Sepp wears a grey shirt with black and blue lines, that form
"Karos" and a blue overcoat. Unluckily I don't know anything about his
trousers. His shirt hasn't one row of buttons in the middle but appearantly two.
Stoff wears a white shirt with blue lines and a greyish-black caroed jacket with
a black collar. Mescht wears a blue-white big caroed shirt,and a grey jacket.
Bartl wears a white shirt with a dark (perhaps reddish) jacket.
Finally Pauli, who is featured most, wears white shirts with a grey jacket or a
blue sprinkled overcoat. On one occasion he wears a blue, greyish zig-zagged
pyjama. And at service a white alb or surplice? with a black-golden bordered
collar, or with a red-golden boarded cloak.
It is similar to the French film, La guerre des boutons, that has a similar story. The plot is also similar to the Hungarian film, The Boys of Paul Street.
