Passionate Blümchen is a German erotic film from 1977 with Nastassja Kinski in her first leading role in a feature film.
action
In a boarding school in the Alps, five girls who are friends are gradually discovering their sexuality. They are beginning to be interested in the opposite sex far more than in their subjects such as mathematics or French. But neither Debbie, the leader of the girls, nor Gina, Ruth, Marie-Louise or Jane have much experience with boys. And so they want to bewitch a few attractive people of the same age as quickly as possible to remedy this deficiency. For this reason, the girls found a kind of secret club whose statutes consist of only one paragraph: to lose the virginity as soon as possible.
The five pretty ones pay special attention to the pupils of the neighboring boys' boarding school. But everything seems easier said than done, the chosen youngsters are at least as inexperienced and awkward as the girls. Whatever the five come up with, something always goes wrong: sometimes the attentive teachers and educators put a stop to the intentions of the loveliest girls, sometimes their would-be lovers are willing but not really steadfast. After a series of flops, the amorous girl gang resorted to one last trick: at the upcoming boarding school party, they dressed in a particularly provocative manner and also mixed some aphrodisiacs into the punch. And so the hormone-controlled adolescents of both sexes still come together. But romance prevails even more than naked desire.
