Synopsis:
'Sabine has just turned 18 when she is released from a reformatory. She now misses the friendly warmth which her education officer exuded and which she feels her parents lack. For this reason, she does not want to return home.
Sabine is bitterly disappointed in her old friend Jimmy for whom she once stole cigarettes. Many young people came to Jimmy because he was a good listener and empathized with everybody's problems. Her Uncle Karl, with whom she spent a lot of time as a little girl and whom she has always trusted implicitly, now is old and ill.
So Sabine has to fend for herself - she has to make a new start, look for an honest job and pay the rent for her furnished room with honestly earned money. She will also have to make new friends. This is not so simple as Sabine, with her unconditional love of truth and sense of justice, easily offends people. Gradually, however, she is eased into her new surroundings; she also becomes more familiar with her new job. But she still does not make things easy for herself as she suspiciously watches people's responses to her. Sabine is an active person, who likes to feel needed by others and who is trying to find her place in the world, sometimes feels like throwing in the towel and running away. But then there are always people who help her and who can deal with her openness sympathetically. Sabine will manage to go her own way...'

A rare German adolescent literature and art work, I personally think the plot is more interesting, and I hope you can like it.
