Summary:
Chronicles Danzig in the 1920s/1930s and the life and times of Oskar Matzerath the son of a local dealer, a most unusual boy. Equipped with full intellect at birth, he decides at his third birthday not to grow up as he sees the crazy world around him at the eve of World War II. He rejects society and his tin drum symbolizes his protest against the middle-class mentality of his family and neighborhood, who represent the passive populace of Nazi Germany.
