"The scandalous Tatort starring Nastassja Kinski"
Sina, a high school student at a small-town school, falls in love with her teacher. Despite an elaborate game of concealment, the affair is exposed. Not only does Michael, a classmate she is “going out with”, begin to suspect something, but so does another female classmate whose promotion to the next grade is at risk. She blackmails the teacher. Sina, in turn, fears that Michael might talk. She invites him to a rendezvous in the woods and, unexpectedly for Michael, casts off all inhibitions. But this is a coldly calculated ploy. She picks up a stone and bludgeons Michael to death. When questioned by the police, she claims that a sexual offender—whose description she had read in the newspaper, tried to assault her; Michael had come to her aid and was killed by the brute.
