The story

This episodic film moves among children and young people caught up in adults’ private lives and their own curiosity. Twelve-year-old Gisela is bathing when her mother’s architect arrives; elsewhere, Kalli leaves his sister Anita alone with a man claiming to be an insurance agent, while Klaus is caught stealing by shopkeeper Senta Jäger and told to return after closing time. Siblings Hansi and Rosi watch their parents through a keyhole, mistaking what they see for play. In another strand, Carlo tries to seduce coworker Anni against her will, prompting an older woman to intervene.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

Twelve-year-old Gisela is taking a bath when her mother’s architect drops by. Her mother is still out, and he says he will wait for her to return, but uses the opportunity to come into the bathroom and touch Gisela on intimate parts of her body, which she seems to enjoy. At the end of the film, this incident serves as an example of how parents should respond appropriately to precocious children. Young Kalli does as his sister Anita asks and leaves her alone with Krüger, who claims to be an insurance agent. In return, he takes money from them both. While the couple are still enjoying themselves, Kalli comes back, and Krüger sends him out into the street to count bearded men in exchange for another payment. Klaus, whose father is very strict, is caught stealing by the married shopkeeper Senta Jäger, who tells him to come to her office after closing time. She compels the boy to make himself sexually available to her. As she is enjoying herself with him at home, her husband unexpectedly comes back. He spots the boy on the balcony and takes him to his outraged parents. One Sunday morning, Hansi and Rosi watch their parents making love through the keyhole and think they are wrestling or playing “Hoppe hoppe Reiter.” Later, at the table, their father punishes the children for telling others what they saw. Carlo, an Italian, tries to seduce his coworker Anni against her will. Kreszenzia Krummhuber, an older woman, comes to Anni’s aid and tells her that Carlo had bet his coworkers he could get her into bed. The women then decide to play the young man a trick he will not soon forget. The mother of eleven-year-old Birgit Seifarth has one lover after another, but each one eventually leaves her. When she catches her daughter touching herself, she demands that her lover punish the girl. From then on, the girl gets a beating every time her mother’s beau is there. But then he wants more and takes advantage of the little girl while her mother is away. To keep him, the mother does not help the child and instead agrees to it. Rich, spoiled Edgar has erotic fantasies whenever he sees Erna, the supposedly French maid. One night, he looks through the keyhole and sees her having sex with a man. After that, he repeatedly approaches her and coerces her into sexual acts. Gradually, they begin a romantic relationship. Two girls who are still virgins want to watch their friend Topsy have sex with a boy. Just as the couple are about to get down to it, they lie down on an anthill and, interrupting the act, run off in different directions, cursing. Resi, a farm girl, has erotic dreams, and Peppi pays her so he can make love to her in the hay. From this, she realizes that men are willing to pay for certain services, which she immediately puts to the test with the shopkeeper Hintermoser and, subsequently, with other men.
