action

The 18-year-old Sabine Wulff is released from the youth work yard, to which she was assigned because of repeated theft. Her boyfriend Jimmy, whom she loved and who persuaded her to do so, was to blame for the thefts. Jimmy also had an easy time with her, as she had problems with her stuffy home. That is why Sabine does not want to go back to her parents even after she is released, but takes a furnished room with Mrs. Prieselank. But she goes to Jimmy's home to tell him that she will start a new life.

This new life begins with regular work in a shoe factory. Here she repeatedly encounters prejudices because of her past and, on the other hand, her consistent views and attitudes, which are absolutely correct, hardly meet with understanding from her colleagues. When she does not report that Gisa is cheating on the billing of her daily performance and only asks her to refrain from doing so, she does not thank her, because she unjustifiably blackens her to master Heide Hobohm. Gisa is believed, because during a check it is found that the number of finished shoes does not match the accounts and Sabine, with her past life, has a hard time explaining that.

But Sabine also has her problems with love. After she no longer wants to be with Jimmy, the first man she can befriend is an old acquaintance who is now in the army and on vacation. But after spending a night together, he confesses to her that he is already firmly bound and therefore cannot stay with her. The second is the daredevil Atsche, a Don Juan who impresses her and who also moves in with her. But when she doesn't get any support from him with her problems in the company, she throws him out of the apartment. During a trip to see her uncle Karl, she meets an old school friend on the bus and the two try each other as a couple. But during a celebration of the student with his doctors and professors, she realizes that he is ashamed of them and therefore separates from him again. So all that remains is Jimmy, whom she still loves. The fact that the walls of his apartment are full of photographs and self-painted pictures of her also convinces her that he loves her too. Only that he wants to continue living in front of himself into the day as before, without taking responsibility, cannot bear it and continues to look for the friendly world.

criticism

For Helmut Ullrich von der Neue Zeit , it remains the merit of the film to have raised many questions: How does a young person grow into our world and where are there problems and difficulties? There are some quieter and more nuanced scenes that make you wish there were more of them. The remarkable achievement of the young Karin Düwel remains in the memory in the role of Sabine, in which even more flickers and flames than the plot shows, a very lifelike young person, unruly uncomfortable and at the same time sensitive and easily vulnerable, callous and casual, and yet at the same time very serious, longing and living out, harsh and sensitive, unrestrained and yet also tense. But overall there was more in history than came out.

In New Germany , Horst Knietzsch finds that this film is observed in detail, the different milieu shown is drawn precisely and realistically and that artistic criticism of human immaturity and enthusiasm is not spared.

The lexicon of international films says that the film sings a song of praise for adaptation, which is poorly camouflaged by only a few rebellious dialogue points.
