I have been ashamed to the ground for as long as I can remember, and I don't even know why; it must be true. The year is 1977. Thorsten Bruhn is sixteen and a late bloomer. Nevertheless, his sexual drive keeps him on his toes. Especially during vacation in Scharbeutz by the Baltic Sea. You get to know each other on church retreats – a barrage of social overwhelm, religious fervor, and hormonal turmoil around the clock. And then there's the bad food. Especially since Thorsten tends to suffer from constipation! Thus, he endures terrible services, embarrassing group games, a dismal youth disco, demon apple schnapps, and erotic confusions with constantly changing objects, all while feeling internally petrified. It's a miracle that in the end, everything somehow turns out alright...
