action

The body of fourteen-year-old Ronja is found in Hamburg, who fell from a tower despite her fear of heights. Ronja came from the lower social class , and there were also desolate family relationships. The criminal girl gang with Lucy, Fatma and Mela, which was led by Ronja, comes under suspicion. They too are at home in problem areas and were confronted with violence and brutality at an early age. Since the girls are not yet of criminal age , which they know exactly, the interrogations by the chief detective Jan Casstorff and his colleagues Holiczek and Graf are more than tedious. The Turkish woman Fatma in particular succeeds in irritating Casstorff to the brim with her indifference paired with an outrageous manner. Mela, who also has a thick coat because of her not slim figure, appears very withdrawn. With Lucy, who takes care of her grandfather who is suffering from Alzheimer's at home , Graf finds out with great empathy that she probably felt more for Ronja than just friendship. The commissioners also include Marie Liebhard, Ronja's cousin, a quiet, very sensitive girl in their investigations. Marie's parents are on vacation, which the clique used to open up in the Liebhards' house. Piet, who comes from an upscale background, is one of the suspects, as the gang of girls repeatedly attacked him on his way to school and relieved him of money. It seems as if the four have terrorized everyone around them.

It turns out that Ronja blackmailed her cousin Marie Liebhard. At the time of the crime, Lucy, Fatma and Mela said they were with Marie, who is said to have given the girls 150 euros, as they requested. After Marie's parents are back from vacation and Casstorff confronts the events, Marie's father opens his daughter's treasure chest in which she keeps her diaries. Marie has developed a special affinity for her aunt Iris May, Ronja's mother, and sees her as a kind of mother's substitute and also keeps little things in the chest that she took with her when she visited the Mays. She admits the act to her aunt.
