 SparkNotes: Demian: Chapter 1
Kromer tells Sinclair that he has known about the apple robbery for quite a while and, further, that the owner of the orchard has offered a reward of two marks to anyone who can tell him who stole the apples.
Kromer then tells Sinclair that he needs the money and would, of course, rather just get the money from Sinclair and not turn him in.
This presents an irony, where the children who are supposed to inhabit the world of light are engaged in a morally dubious activity—looking down on the public school children simply because of their lower class status.

 REVIEW: Gay Fairytale "Wolves of Kromer" Has Diverting Bite
Though strikingly original in concept, "The Wolves of Kromer" is a decidedly hit and miss affair.
Lambert's metaphor is even more seriously weakened by virtue of the fact that the only sex we see or hear in the film takes place between Polly and Seth; the occasional snogging between the two men is furtive, passionless, and usually shown in long-shot.
With its haphazardly executed philosophical underpinnings, "The Wolves of Kromer" never quite gels as allegory; its Deep Thoughts are simply not well developed enough to carry the film.
