Overview
In the late 70s, young Petra Grust begins teaching at the progressive Odenwald School. She is flattered by the trust placed in her by its widely respected headmaster Simon Pistorius. But gradually certain incidents at the boarding school begin to unsettle her. Petra then realizes that Pistorius is abusing Frank, a 13-year-old. When Frank is told that he has to spend school holidays with Pistorius, he tries to commit suicide. Petra tells Frank's father (the chairman of the school's governing body) but he believes Pistorius instead of his own son. Petra fails to convince people of the man's true nature. 30 years later, Frank goes to Petra, who has long since left the school and has stopped teaching altogether. He has never been able to speak about what happened but now, after the suicide of another pupil, he is no longer willing to remain silent. He wants Petra to bear witness at the school's forthcoming anniversary celebrations.

Jan Cousins, brutally raped by her date, returns to boarding school, and there she is confronted by Clarice, a lesbian who seduces her. Jan seeks sexual fulfillment from her boyfriend, Roger, but his strict upbringing has left him with a perverse need to be spanked. Roger appeals first to a prostitute, then to Clarice, and finally to Jan for spanking, but she reacts with shock and tears. Her psychiatrist suggests that she find a normal man, but her successive dates are even more abnormal than Roger. She modifies her standards of normality and begins to accept all types of behaviour. She does some research on flagellation, whips Roger, and finally achieves sexual satisfaction.
