New Showbiz Analysis

Ernst Hofbauer’s film serves as a social critique of mid-century institutional stability, using the 'Aufklärungsfilm' genre to explore changing social norms. It successfully challenges traditional gender roles by giving female characters a degree of sexual autonomy, even when portrayed through tragic or victimized lenses. However, the film is limited by its focus on a homogeneous European demographic, lacking representation of LGBTQ+, racial, or multi-ethnic diversity. This narrow scope prevents a higher overall score despite its thematic depth. Ultimately, the work examines systemic failures and the erosion of traditional morality through the lens of youth rebellion and sexual liberation.

Official Synopsis

After the big success of the first part the film-makers apparently felt pressured to launch a new "investigation" and gather new material. Therefore, Friedrich von Thun again ventures out into the streets, this time of Berlin, to ask schoolgirls about their sexual experiences. The invinted guests talk about (allegedly) true events. Schoolgirls that seduce their teachers, runaway girls that have been robbed and who have to prostitute themselves or innocent girls that have been drugged and raped...
