One of these young women is the rebellious Karin, who lets no one get close to her. Only the young pastor Johannes manages to reach her, bringing Karin's mysterious and sad past to light.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of West Germany's 1960s 'Sittenfilme' wave—moral panic cinema disguised as social critique, often more lurid than educational.
Director Zehetgruber later pivoted to the 'Superbug' car comedy franchise—this grim reform school drama shares DNA with his goofy Volkswagen movies.
