She's bored and lacks things to do and is sick and tired of living there. She hears of Sound, a new disco in the city center, labelled as the most modern discothèque in Europe. Although she's legally too young to go there, she dresses up in high heels, wears makeup, and asks a friend from school, who hangs out there regularly, to take her, too. At the disco, she meets Detlef, who is a little older and is in a clique where everybody experiments with various drugs. At first she takes pills and LSD, but gradually becomes drawn deeper into the drugs, eventually ending up as a heroin-addict and prostitute. Christiane falls in love with Detlef, and begins using heroin on a regular basis, soon becoming a junkie like the rest of the group. As the movie was first shown LESS
