Film plot

Thomas "Stoni" Eckert is a singer and star of an amateur rock band. Although he is quite successful within the scope of his possibilities and also has a certain talent as a lyricist and composer, there are tensions within the band, which are due to a certain degree of overconfidence Stonis and his unreliability. In addition, there is an incipient alcohol disease, which is accompanied by severe stomach problems Stonis.

At the same time, Martin Schadow, band colleague and future brother-in-law of Stoni finds a revolver with ammunition while cleaning up the basement. Shortly afterwards, his mother Margot Schadow also learns of this find. She urges Martin to hand over the gun to the police. As a weapons collector, however, he does not want to report the find and keep the revolver. He secretly tries it out and finds that the ammunition does not seem to be working.

After all, the mother is uncomfortable with the gun in the house, she takes the revolver and pretends to hand it over to the police. In fact, she buries him in the garden, believing him to be safe from further access. Martin observes his mother and secretly digs up the weapon again.

In the meantime, the conflicts in the band have increased, also due to the fact that band leader Werner Marbach has taken the young Till into the band as an apparent or possibly actual replacement for Stoni. In addition, Ulrike Schadow, who feels morally obliged to help her brother with his problems, is increasingly standing between her friend Martin and her brother. When he happens to find the revolver at Martin's, he thinks he has Martin in his hand.

Finally, there is an open dispute between Stoni and Till. The dispute ends in a brawl. Stoni will have to replace the damage caused in this way. He makes a plan to blackmail Martin. Having become aware of Stoni's hints, Ulrike asks her friend Martin, who confides in her, also because he is already willing to settle the matter. When at that moment a policeman appears at the Schado house to question Martin again as a witness about the fight, Ulrike quickly takes the gun and goes to Stoni.

She puts the revolver on the table and wants to confront Stoni. However, he “doesn't want to be serious now” and starts to play with the weapon. After pulling the trigger several times without result, a shot is fired, which hits Ulrike and seriously injures her.

Ulrike Eckert survived the incident, but suffered permanent health damage for life.

Legal evaluation

Thomas "Stoni" Eckert was later sentenced to 2 years imprisonment for failing to report the unauthorized possession of weapons, for attempted extortion, negligent bodily harm as well as for willful damage to property. Martin Schadow and Margot Schadow were sentenced to prison terms of one and six months on probation for unauthorized possession of weapons. In the case of Ulrike Eckert, punishment was waived because she only had the weapon in her possession for a short time, dealt with her brother's attempt at extortion and ultimately became the victim of her own violation of the law.
