action
Munich 1924: The 18-year-old Leo Knie and his friends have just finished school and are now considering what they want to become.
Leo walks back to school, lost in thought, when he meets his previous classmate and neighbor Marilli Kosemund , with whom he has been in love since childhood. However, he never dares to confess his love to her, and Marilli, in turn, would also like to enter into a relationship with Leo. She approaches him openly a few times, but he is too shy and prevents a closer relationship.
With his best friend Biwi Leer , Leo starts looking for an apprenticeship position. Biwi then does an apprenticeship as a hairdresser and Leo starts an apprenticeship in an electrical engineering shop. Leo tries to forget Marilli by making other women acquaintances again and again, but he doesn't want to succeed.
One day Biwi has an affair with Leo's dance partner, whereupon the friendship breaks up. Now Leo feels completely lonely and abandoned by everyone. He falls into the deepest depression and in his desperation enters into a strange relationship with the prostitute Fanny.
When she tells him that he is pregnant, it gives him the rest. He swallows 28 sleeping pills, which he washes down with schnapps, writes on a mirror with candle wax the words "And nobody cries after me", lies down on the bed and dies of poisoning.
Reviews
“By focusing on a love affair, the film degrades the other people to marginal characters without contour. Nor does he manage to integrate the socio-political background of the time into the story in a meaningful way. Actually passable, it offers nothing more than conventional television entertainment. "
