13-year-old Christiane Felscherinow lives with her mother and little sister in a small apartment in a typical multi-storey concrete apartment building in a dull neighbourhood in the outskirts of [[West Berlin]]. 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, called ''the most modern discothèque in Europe''. Although she's legally too young to go, she dresses up in high heels and makeup and asks a friend from school to take her. At the disco she meets Detlef, who is a little older. He 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]]. She falls in love with Detlef, and eventually gets herself off drugs and the street. |
