Kathi,15, and Tina,16, live in Eichenried, a small village in Lower Bavaria. They are attending the same school in the nearby district town. The two unequal girls hardly have in common. While Kathi is rather open-minded, and confronts her surroundings in a still child-like but direct unafraid way, precocious Tina leads a strangely reclusive life. Despite all that separates them, we sense a certain degree of confidingness between the two. Tina asks Kathi for a doctor who carries out abortions… In the evening of Eichenried’s annual fire department’s ball, while Kathi jobs as a waitress, Tina provokes the villagers with her deep cleavage and her impudent behaviour. Tina flirts openly with Kathi’s stepfather Tom, whose reputation in the village is that of an un-liked new-guy-in-town. Confused and worried, Kathi watches her stepfather leave the ballroom with Tina. Apart from a few brawls, a stolen bicycle and a traffic accident, nothing much out-of-the ordinary has occurred in Eichenried during the last couple of years. But in the morning after the ball, Tina is found murdered. Detective Brennecke from the district town investigates the facts, unimpressed by the seemingly intact outward appearance of the idyllic village. During Tina’s autopsy, three startling facts are revealed: she had sexual intercourse shortly before her death, and she was pregnant. But her last lover is not the unborn child’s father.
