action
On her 18th birthday, blonde Inken meets her two friends Victoria, called Vicky, and Lena in the dressing room of her volleyball team. The three of them have to listen to the conceited Chayenne - a player in the opposing team - bragging about her ability to orgasm to a friend. The team of three immediately loses to Chayennes. For her birthday, Inken receives a video from Vicky's mother, a sex therapist , in which women talk about their orgasm experiences. The girls are amazed to see what they have completely missed so far.
In the evening, the three of them take part in a party that their teammate Julia is holding in their house. While Vicky has wild sex with a stranger in the kitchen, Inken retreats into the bedroom with her boyfriend Tim. This is shocked by her statement that she has never had an orgasm and makes special efforts. When he still fails to bring her to the climax, he tries to convince her that she has experienced but not recognized you. Lena falls in love with Nick, who is also attending the party with his band. The nasty "skull" puts her in an embarrassing situation in front of him. But Nick proves to be understanding and the two start talking. When Inken gets home, she notices that her father is obviously having an intimate date in his bedroom. She withdraws into the garden, where she talks to her neighbor Flin.
The next day, Inken tests her new bike and experiences a pleasant surprise: She leaned her first orgasm against a street lamp. After sending Tim into the desert for his bold lie, she excitedly tells her friends about it. Vicky now also confesses that, despite all sexual experience, she has not yet had an orgasm. The three girls then try to repeat the bike experience, but without success.
Lena has her first date with Nick. The two kiss. Vicky considers becoming a lesbian and logs into a chat room. In fact, she is approached there by “Joy”, who manages to bring her to orgasm through virtual stimulation and masturbation. When Vicky finally, exhausted, asks for a picture of her, "Joy" gets cold feet, because in fact it is her friend Dirk, who has had an eye on Vicky for a long time. Instead, in a panic, he sent her an ad image that happened to show the new girlfriend of Inken's father, Christine (“the woman from the margarine commercial”). Lena has an appointment with Nick in his band's rehearsal room. But when she arrives there unnoticed, she witnesses how Nick and his buddies make their sexual inexperience a song topic. Nick discovers Lena, but she quickly leaves the premises.
Vicky and Inken place an ad with clear content: Inken finally wants a man who can give her an orgasm. When she repeats the display text in the bar before the supposed date, it turns out to be the wrong one. A little later, her actual date is before her. She nervously takes him home, where her rendezvous is watched by Flin. Just determined to call it off, however, she realizes that her date has put on a steel penis ring that he can no longer remove. Her father discovers them and immediately agrees to help the young man. In this compromising situation he is surprised by Christine. When she storms out of the house in horror, she meets Vicky there, who thinks she has her Internet acquaintance "Joy" in front of her. Christine shakes them off, however.
The three friends are frustrated and doubt the real purpose of sex and orgasms. Nevertheless, they go out in the evening to attend a party. With potency pills they manage to get a revenge on "skulls", which Julia uses to their advantage. Meanwhile, Tim and Chayenne get closer. Nick tries to approach Lena but can't find the right words. Finally, the three girls want to go home disappointed. But Nick jumps on stage and makes a musical declaration of love for Lena. The two kiss. Inken approaches Flin and explains that she would like to be with him even without an orgasm. But the latter seems disappointed with her words and gives in that he fears that they will destroy their friendship. The two hug. Vicky goes home alone. At the bus stop she meets Dirk, who tells her that he is Joy. Terrified, Vicky jumps into the waiting taxi, but after a few meters she stops and asks Dirk to get in. Inken, who is on her way home by bike, is approaching another high point when she rams another cyclist in the dark. This turns out to be the supposed blind date to which she once read the sexually explicit poem. After this embarrassing situation, the two push their bikes down the dark street and talk.
In the final scene you can see the girls playing the second leg against Chayenne's team. She seems so embarrassed by her subterranean night of love with Tim that she plays badly, and the three highly motivated friends can score a lot. In the stands, they are cheered by their new friends.

Movie review
"Staged in the unimaginative style of an early evening television series, the film never really cares about the needs of its protagonists, but merely provides entertainment at the lowest level of zoten."
“Unfortunately, [Director Gansel] had to film a script - not written by him - that only makes crude capital from the initial situation (...) Whenever a decision between a generation portrait and prepubescent nonsense was required, the latter was chosen. And buried the story under slippery gags. It's a shame about the leading actresses that are really worth seeing. The film may still be a real screamer - for those who have to go to bed after the sandman ... "
“The convincing leading actresses act professionally in this fast-paced teen comedy, which is based on American college films. The longing for the right sexual partner is told in ever new, unexpected twists. In short, well-composed dialogues, accurate gestures and an almost feverish pace, everyday teenage life between school, parents and friends is reflected. From the perspective of the protagonists, the film skilfully plays with clichés without becoming flat. For the image of a sexually fulfilled woman there are amusing cinematic implementations, which create amusement through the breathless and imaginative narrative form. Predicate: valuable. "
