Die Faust in der Tasche
Wolle has lost his apprenticeship. Out of shame, he hides it from his parents and his girlfriend, who leaves him as a result. He starts drinking and joins a group of unemployed young people who are mainly interested in motorcycles and are in constant danger of going off the rails. The Benedictine brother Lukas wants to get the young people off the streets and sets up a youth club with them. But when they are suspected of having committed a theft, the club is closed down. The young people occupy it. The police want to storm it. Wolle goes up to the roof and threatens to jump down.
