Synopsis

The third part of a film series on sexual education, designed for parents of children and teens, that addressed the taboo issue of sexuality (well before the first films made by the champion of sexual education, Oswald Kolle, at the end of the 1960s).

 

The series broaches the previously taboo topic of emerging adolescent sexuality by combining staged and semi-documentary elements to depict everyday challenges faced by teenagers. This episode features the stories of three 16- to 20-year-olds who chose to marry at a young age and face difficult decisions about parenthood and education.

 

Available as a special feature on the DVD of Just Married.
