-Comment: At least one boy in a rare modern sleeveless shirt with a blue sailor collar. Also at least 2 or 3 sailors in different sailor suits. And other boys and grown-ups in historical clothing.

Based after the 1928 novel "The Twelve Chairs"Original title: Dvenadtsat stulyev (12 стульев) by Ilya Ilf and Petrov, set in 1927 and had been made into several movies. This is a German movie (Russian language, except for the German narration, German subtitles), filmed in the Ukraine and combined old 1920s and modern props, cars, electronics and colorful clothing. Probably the only modern one (except for stage plays). This scene is at 1h22 / at the end of part 3. I don't know the complete film/series yet. In part 4 there are no boys in sailor suits but in other historical clothing. Funny plot about jewels hidden in one of 12 chairs and people want to get them. Next episodes will be aired next Sunday on 3sat. Most streaming and download clips claim to be the 2004 version some including the right cover, but aren't.  So pay attention. Other versions also have kids, but besides historical clothing I haven't seen any in sailor suits yet.

Rating 4-5 for now, although few good scenes yet. Another modern series and webfind coming soon. Some shorter clips on YouTube but not with this scene.

Update: Now I have seen the rest of the episodes. The boy in sailor suit only appeared at the end of the film on a stage (shown from behind). The 2 boys sitting above the stage. One young sailor on a ship, I think in ep. 5, quite often shown. The pic is on the web. I still have to check the complete first 3 episodes. Pic below is from ep 3 (or 4).
