In the late 1960s, Stefan completes his mathematics program in West Germany and decides to experience life beyond academia. He chooses to hitch-hike to elsewhere, looking for something more exciting than textbooks. The decision marks the start of his journey into the counterculture world.

Stefan travels to Paris and befriends a petty criminal named Charlie after gambling at a bar. Charlie becomes his guide to the underground scene. The encounter sets Stefan on a path toward Estelle, a woman who will soon dominate his attention.

Charlie takes Stefan to a party where he becomes enamored with Estelle, an American girl known as the Pussycat. Charlie warns him she is a drug user and dangerous. Stefan ignores the warning and seeks a connection with her.

Stefan goes to Estelle’s hotel room and is introduced to marijuana. They spend time together and share a sexual encounter. The attraction deepens as the drug use begins to blur boundaries.

Estelle announces she is leaving for Ibiza and invites Stefan to follow. He agrees, drawn by her allure and the promise of freedom. The trip marks the start of a dangerous domino effect on his life.

Upon arriving in Ibiza, Stefan discovers that Estelle is entangled with Dr. Ernesto Wolf, a wealthy ex-Nazi. A drug dealer he befriends hints at Wolf's influence. The revelation shatters Stefan's initial romantic notion of Estelle.

Estelle brings Stefan to meet her friends at a hippie party, including her best friend Cathy. The social setting reveals a world of drugs and loose morals. Stefan’s infatuation deepens as the group normalizes the drug use.

Stefan persuades Estelle to join him in an isolated villa. She secretly brings money and a large quantity of heroin she has stolen from Wolf. The secure setting becomes the cradle of their descent into addiction.

The pair enjoy sun, sea, and sex in the villa. Estelle gradually introduces Stefan to heroin, explaining the drug and its effects. The mood shifts from romantic escapism to a dangerous dependency.

Wolf demands the return of the heroin and money Stefan and Estelle used. As payment, Stefan is forced to work in Wolf’s bar while Estelle must share his bed. The power dynamics deepen the sense of entrapment.

Estelle vanishes one night, leaving Stefan worried and frantic. Charlie visits and urges Stefan to abandon Estelle and return to Paris. The rescue of Stefan from a destructive path feels increasingly unlikely.

On the night he is due to leave, Stefan questions Estelle and lashes out. She begs for heroin, then confesses she has slept with Wolf the whole time and was trapped by the deal. The revelation shatters his remaining illusions and fuels his despair.

Estelle runs from Stefan, who panics and searches for her. In the process he injures Charlie, who tries to calm him and argue that leaving this life is possible. The trio's relationships are permanently damaged.

The morning after, Stefan begs a drug dealer for two packets of heroin. He overdoses despite the dealer’s warning about the drug’s potency. He is buried in the open countryside while Charlie watches, devastated.
