The story
Katja, a 19-year-old from the Franconian countryside near Bamberg, travels to Munich with a clear aim: to lose her virginity. She dives into Schwabing’s nightlife and moves into a shared flat with a group of bohemian men, including someone known as the “Count.” Katja tells her new housemates that she has returned from work as a photographic model in Rome and intends to study next semester. Though her flatmates are familiar with pleasure and advocate free love, they find themselves at a loss when faced with a bona fide virgin.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
In the film, Gila von Weitershausen plays Katja, a 19-year-old from the Franconian countryside (Bamberg), who travels to Munich to lose her virginity. With the words, “I’m finally due!” she throws herself into Schwabing’s nightlife and moves into a shared flat with a group of shabby bohemian types, including a “Count.” She claims to have just returned from a job as a photographic model in Rome and says she plans to study next semester. But her flatmates, who are otherwise no strangers to pleasure and advocates of free love, prove unequal to the prospect of dealing with a bona fide virgin and become confused. In the end, however, Katja does manage to achieve her goal by playing the men off against one another. The Count fulfills her wishes, and she returns home satisfied at the end.
