Az is the gripping tale of young Derdâ, the daughter of a ranger, married at the tender age of 11 to the son of a religious sect leader. Her path crosses with Derda, a boy of the same age, known as the 'cemetery child', whose father is imprisoned for robbery. Their lives intersect in a cemetery, and over the course of forty years, they are shaped by every form of violence, preparing them for each other.

This story explores the violence of childhood, the violence of life, the violence of love, the violence of faith, and the violence of ambition. It is a narrative that delves from A to Z into the essence of violence, woven with the language and script's own brutality.

Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo tells the harrowing story of Christiane F., a young girl who, at the age of twelve, was introduced to hashish in a youth home and by thirteen had fallen into heroin addiction. She and her heroin-addicted friends resorted to prostitution in the area around Bahnhof Zoo to fund their addiction. For nearly two years, her mother was unaware of her daughter's double life.

Christiane F. recounts her experiences with precise memory and unreserved openness, sharing the fates of children who are only acknowledged by the public in their deaths due to drugs. This story, repeating itself in Berlin, small towns, and villages, reflects the lives of thousands of children caught in the grip of substance abuse.
