Synopsis

The plot focuses on the inmates of a juvenile detention home for girls, all of whom have been brought there due to the trouble past that brought them into drugs, prostitution or other crimes. The rebellious Karin stands aloof from the other prisoners, but the kindly young pastor Johannes is able to connect with her eventually, bringing her tragic past to light.
