Three episodes depict events that actually took place in the years before the film was made. Three true‐life dramas explore teacher–student taboos: 1. Monika: A young teacher’s love for his pregnant 17‐year‐old student leads to his self‐incrimination amid legal peril. 2. Sybille: A 15‐year‐old fabricates a scandalous affair with her bachelor principal, ending in his suicide. 3. Fantasie: A 13‐year‐old boy’s infatuation with his teacher drives him to violence and a troubled return to reality.

Sexual behaviors of young people are discussed and presented.
