Synopsis
Munich in the early 1960s. The teenager Jutta Brandt is determined to prevent the impending divorce of her parents Günther and Irene Brandt at all costs. For this reason, she seeks out her mother's worldly lover, the foreigner George Romanescu. She wants to persuade him to leave her mother alone. When he refuses to do so, she shoots the elegant playboy with a revolver that her school friend Hans has given her. But then Jutta must realize that not only her mother contributed to the destruction of the parental marriage. Her father has long since taken a girlfriend. Disillusioned and shaken, Jutta, for whom a world has collapsed, turns herself in to the police and confesses to the blood crime she committed. Only this step brings both parents back to their senses.
