Christiane F. - We children from Bahnhof Zoo

The 13-year-old Christiane F. lives with her mother and sister in a bleak high-rise estate in Berlin-Gropiusstadt. To escape her family problems, she smokes hash and takes trips. However, she soon turns to hard drugs and starts using heroin. She becomes addicted. In the mornings, she goes to school and in the afternoons, she turns to child prostitution at the Zoo station to fund her addiction. Christiane increasingly gets caught in the vortex of drugs and prostitution. Instead of the supposed freedom, the substance only brings decay and death, which also spares none of her closest friends.
