action
When the popular student Susanne Wagner does not show up for her 16th birthday, her mother Nora worries. Susanne is secretly in love with her classmate Josch, which is why she invites him to her party. In doing so, however, she provoked the always aggressive and rough Linda, with whom he is actually in a relationship. Linda has long since had a full-blown hatred of Susanne. Because while Susanne can seem to enjoy a perfect life, Linda is abused at home by her father. Her mother looks the other way, blames Linda for everything and considers her a monster, so that Linda does everything to correspond to her mother's image.
Now that Susanne, whom Linda describes as Miss Piggy, also presents herself as a rival, that's enough for her. She incites her clique, consisting of Josch and the inconspicuous Kati, to give Susanne a lesson for her birthday. They kidnap Susanne and lock her in the attic of Linda's parents' house. There, however, the situation escalates quickly. Linda commands and Kati and Josch obey. They mercilessly humiliate and mistreat Susanne. Only after a while Josch can no longer bear the situation and calls the police. Susanne is admitted to the hospital, where she later dies of her serious injuries. About a year later, Nora tries to find out how this could happen. She visits Linda in prison and the answer is that she deserves it.

Reviews
“Depressing, challenging (television) drama about youth violence that poses probing questions about the state of our society. The film virtuously connects several time levels with each other, whereby the dynamics increase and the dramaturgical framework is closely interlinked so that structures become visible. The refusal to give a clear explanation is, in spite of all the drastic scenes of violence, ultimately the greatest imposition that the film demands of the viewer. The outstanding cast ensemble also ensures the quality of the film, which is disturbing in the better sense of the word. "
“'She Deserved It' is a film that is perhaps even more disturbing than 'A Clockwork Orange' because it is not fictitious, but very real. It is hard to believe and for more than 90 minutes it is hard to bear that people can be so cruel to people. But they do exist, the subway thugs and the gunmen, they are young people who suddenly become killers and they are right among us. That is why ARD is allowed to show so much brutality, yes it probably even has to, even directly after the news, especially if it is so skilfully staged. Because it is part of German reality. Because we have to deal with it. Because the perpetrators are so difficult to understand. "
“Marc Liesendahl's shaky camera images from the attic are uncompromisingly radical. There is something documentary about them that unexpectedly turns the viewer into an eyewitness to a terrible crime and gives the film an abysmal depth. With the script jumping back and forth between the events, director Stiller tried to tear the subject out of a simple causality. After all, he says, the book is about 'what such events do in our heads, in our hearts: scraps of thought, feelings that have no clear order'. [...] In the end, the filmmaker does everything right. By not offering convenient, straightforward answers, but leaving the viewer alone with an uncomfortable feeling. "
