A young couple, whose first child was born with a disability, ask in front of the camera about ways to rule out a disability for the next pregnancy: whether medical care, ultrasound and medication could help. This outlines the typical client profile of family genetic counseling centers, which provide information about the risks of having a child with a neural tube defect, for example. A team of specialists from Leipzig, including a woman, is introduced who invites parents of newborn disabled children to have the disability clarified by family genetics. The diagnostic testing of a disabled infant will be shown. Middle-aged couples who wish to have children are also shown.

Contraception as a joint task of the couple and the avoidance of pregnancy during adolescence are the subject of the film based on interviews with young people and medical expert statements. Two doctors and a qualified medical practitioner provide information in a club for 15-year-old teenagers.

Through very personal statements by the protagonists, the film provides an insight into the individual form of (romantic) relationships of young heterosexual adults (15 to 19 years old according to the commentary) and, at the end, focuses against the premature acceptance of sexual relationships. It reveals itself to be an interview film with couples who went on a tandem tour together for the film and were "spontaneously willing" to talk about their relationship.

This educational film is aimed at 12 to 15-year-old boys and girls and depicts the attitudes and experiences of this age group in relation to their first sexual and partner experiences.

The film reports on the massive forest damage in the Ore Mountains on the Czech-German border and the desperate struggle of foresters and residents to save this landscape. Hope, doubt and an ever-increasing ecological catastrophe are pitted against a blind and deaf doctrinaire state power that denies the facts.
