1970s West Berlin. Rebellious teenager Christiane meets heroin addict Detlev at a nightclub and is quickly drawn to his charm. As their relationship deepens, she becomes entangled in the harrowing world of heroin addiction centred around Berlin's Zoologischer Garten station. What begins as innocent love soon collapses under the weight of dependency and despair.

Based on the autobiographical accounts of Vera Christiane Felscherinow, Christiane F. remains one of cinema's most disturbing and authentic portrayals of heroin addiction. Along with its matter-of-fact depiction of drug use, the film doesn't shy away from the fact that its story concerns adolescents, even casting real teenagers Natja Brunckhorst and Thomas Haustein in the lead roles. The result is a devastating portrait of lost innocence and the brutal erosion of youth amid social neglect. Featuring the contributions of David Bowie, who composed the soundtrack and appears as himself in a concert sequence.
