This series is based on the experiences of Christiane F.
Individuals and events in her familial environment
and friends are fictitious or fictionalized.
Give me another two.
It's for my friends.
She didn't go back to class after the break.
The teacher showed her this to scare her. What an asshole.
She'll come home.
She has always come home.
We're going to look for her.
Get up.
Take me with you.
Go home, Christiane.
WE CHILDREN FROM BAHNHOF ZOO
Hey, you. I need some girls.
Sex costs ten, blow jobs five.
You're too old.
Wait a minute!
What do you need? I can arrange something.
Is 13 okay? I can do that easily.
Three girls for tonight. Under 14.
I'll get it done.
150 per girl, and 250 for me.
Make sure they look good.
Well-groomed.
200 each, and you get top-quality goods.
-Who are you even? -Me?
A capitalist.
Babsi was my best friend.
I didn't want this.
It's my fault.
There's no smoking in here.
Mom?
-Stella! -Hey, you.
I'm here to pick up some stuff.
Will you eat with us?
You have time for a quick meatball.
Where have you been the last weeks?
Here and there.
Are you coming back?
What about school?
I won't be coming back.
Then don't come to me when you need something.
When have I ever needed anything from you?
-You'd better not steal my stuff. -Why would I want kids' clothes?
Mom's doing fine.
Mostly.
If not, I'll take care of things.
-Does Pauly still come? -Pauly? Yes, of course. Every day.
Look after yourself.
-We'll try again tomorrow. -Yeah.
I have to get going.
Yeah.
Mom? Dad?
Christiane!
I don't feel anything anymore.
Am I dead?
Your boyfriend called here a few times.
Benno?
He's in prison.
-What did he want? -That doesn't matter now.
You have to say goodbye anyway.
Say goodbye? Why?
Dad and I have been thinking.
Hey, you old junkie broad.
I don't have that much time.
I just want to know why you didn't come.
I was waiting. I nearly lost my mind.
Michi really needed me.
I needed you too.
I wrote you from Prague.
I wanted to come back to you, but it didn't work out.
My father reported me for stealing his savings.
What a dick.
I don't know.
I'm getting my school diploma.
You had to go to prison to get that?
I'm going back to school too.
But not in Berlin.
Oh, right.
No more fixes from now on.
You're in here. And I'll be in Eisfelden.
We're going to do it this time.
Are you still hanging around here?
Shouldn't we call an ambulance?
Just let him die in peace.
He's a goner, as you can see.
I killed someone.
What did you say?
I'm a murderer.
You're going to make it.
Come on.
-Wow! Is this part of your apartment? -Of course.
It's the best part.
And who are those girls?
-They work for me. -How?
They're my hookers.
I make sure they don't do anything stupid.
And that no one does anything to them.
No one gives you anything for free. You have to take what you need.
If you're too weak, they'll destroy you.
How much do they earn?
60 for sex, 40 for blow jobs.
Angie makes 250 a day.
If you're pretty, you can make even more.
You're making it difficult for yourself.
Why?
Maybe you should switch to rubber boots.
How would that look?
Oh, Chrissie.
Your dad called this morning.
Finally.
His daughter was born last night.
You have a half-sister.
It's quite nice, really.
Yes.
Doesn't she look like Hildegard?
-Who? Uwe's girlfriend? -No. Christiane.
-Let it go. -You don't think so?
You couldn't have helped your sister either, Karin.
Max Korte?
Not being treated as suspicious. Domestic accident.
The case is closed? I see. Very well. Thank you.
You didn't do anything.
There was no murder.
Everything is fine. Very fine.
Want some?
No.
I'm going to get my school diploma.
You go crazy in here without any.
Letter for you.
I'm the cleanest bee under the sun. How about you?
It's really quiet here in the country.
And you haven't written in so long.
I'm coming to Berlin. Next week already.
I have to testify as a witness in a court case against Günther.
I think it's about the fact that we're underage.
And all that shit that went on at his place.
I'm feeling a bit uneasy about it. But we'll see each other.
I'll come visit. I really miss you.
Oh, man. Where did you get that from?
Next week in Berlin, I'll get you some really good shit.
Everyone's betting you won't come back.
Of course I'll come back.
Hey
Hey!
Hey, are you crazy?
Jealous?
Let's go.
Your boyfriend isn't screwing you right.
Yes. My boyfriend is in prison, going cold turkey.
Hang on.
You're the little whore from Berlin.
Hey, it's the little whore from Berlin. How much?
For 100 marks, I'll suck you off right now.
So, get it out.
That's what I thought.
Spit that gum out. Nobody is asking for a cow.
What are you doing here?
What are you wearing?
Get dressed properly and go home.
Fifty. Set price.
No.
Angie, come here!
Put some lipstick on.
-What about me? -Get out of my seat.
Why are you taking care of her? I'm your sister.
Exactly.
Off home with you.
Get lost.
What are you staring at?
How are you feeling about tomorrow?
Not so bad.
I'll just go there, say what happened, and tell the truth.
Yes.
And you will be there too.
I think it's better if you go without me.
It's just so hard for me to listen to that.
But if you need me, of course I'll come along.
It's all right.
Hey, Christiane!
-Nice to see you! -Oh, wow!
How proper you've become! Such modest clothes!
-Don't know if I could get you a job. -You could do with more gear.
More "gear"? Definitely!
-You look good. -Thanks.
-Think Günther will go to prison? -Ah, that horny dog!
Remember we used to take turns sucking him and he didn't notice?
Really? I don't remember.
Well, maybe it was with Babsi. I can't remember now.
Or you were high as a kite.
Your details for the record.
Resident at Sollmannweg 2, 1000 Berlin-Gropiusstadt?
Yes. My mother lives there.
But my bedroom is now her boyfriend's hobby room.
Did you have sexual intercourse with and perform other sex acts
on the defendant Günther Breitweg while you were still a minor?
And is it also true that in return for sexual intercourse
and other sex acts, the defendant gave you heroin?
Of course it was different every time,
but in general that's pretty much true.
I'd like to talk about the emotional relationship
between yourself and Günther Breitweg.
I would like to ask you to read out this piece of evidence.
We found this letter among Breitweg's possessions.
"Dear Günther, I really miss you.
You, and everything about you.
You're a great guy, and when I think of you,
I somehow I somehow feel really " Stella!
When he's got his diploma and gets out,
he'll do an agricultural apprenticeship.
Then we're going to buy ourselves an old farm and breed horses.
Cool.
And you?
I want to run eight girls.
Cool.
Come along, please.
Thank you.
Lights, please.
Mr. Breitweg, do you have anything to say in your defense?
Well
It was a matter of purely business relations
between the girls and myself. I mean
I paid 40 marks for photos.
It was a clearly defined arrangement.
-Purely business relations. -And
Except with
this young lady here.
And I wanted to ask you
When you are old enough, I wanted to ask
if you'll be my wife.
You surely cannot be serious, Mr. Breitweg?
Oh, the nerve of that guy!
He loves you.
No, thanks.
But I need some really good hash.
They only smoke grass out there.
The kind cows would eat.
For you.
Just in case.
Must be one pretty lady.
I barely recognize you, you look so healthy.
You too.
Sit down.
I got my diploma.
I'm fourth-best in the class.
When do you get out?
You haven't written in a while.
I had a lot to do.
Three weeks.
That's great.
Then you can come to Eisfelden.
Of course.
But first I'll do the apprenticeship my old man got for me.
Your old man?
He's the one who put you in here.
I'm lucky, really. I have a criminal record now.
With the postal service? A mailman, or what?
You're kidding, right?
It's an office job. I'll earn 600, Christiane.
Man, so annoying!
So, a mailman, huh?
Want to be a bourgeois prick like your dad?
I want to make something out of my life.
Hasn't been much until now.
Not much?
All we did was fuck up big time.
You're going to like this city.
I don't care where I am, if I'm with you.
Put that away, Christiane.
We want to eat.
It's impolite when Uwe's girlfriend is here.
It's from the court.
Our testimonies weren't credible. They've only put Günther on parole.
Günther?
Who's that?
-What has he done? -He's an acquaintance of mine.
He's actually a nice guy.
He was always there for us.
-He had a pet shop. -You don't get arrested for that.
-Leave it be. -Did he mistreat the animals?
No, he just used to give us H now and then.
We can talk about it later.
He gave you the heroin?
Yes. If you were going cold turkey,
you knew where to go if you didn't have money.
He gave it to you, just like that?
Yes. No.
He took photos of us. Naked.
Or we had to give him blowjobs.
-I beg your pardon? -But he was really decent.
He gave us the H before we blew him.
'Cause it's not easy when you're on turkey. It itches.
You feel sick. You don't want anything in your mouth.
Christiane, you have absolutely no shame.
Uwe, stay
You certainly provoked him into that.
Come on.
Yes, sometimes I sucked him off six times a day. Other johns as well.
I once had 11 in a day. That's a whole soccer team.
I'm so sorry for everything, Christiane.
Hello, I'm Horst Rieck.
This is my colleague Hermann.
We work for Stern magazine. We'd like to interview your granddaughter.
We can do this.
All right, let's make a start then.
What should we call you?
Christiane, I think.
Christiane F.
