Trace of Stones (‹See Tfd›German: Spur der Steine, pronounced [ʃpuːɐ̯ deːɐ̯̯ ˈʃtaɪ̯nə] ) is a 1966 East German film by Frank Beyer. It was based on the eponymous novel by Erik Neutsch and starred Manfred Krug in the main role. After its release, the film was shown only for a few days, before being shelved due to conflicts with the Socialist Unity Party, the ruling communist party in the German Democratic Republic. Only after 23 years was the film shown again, in November 1989.
