The beautiful young Wendla explores the mysteries of her body and wonders aloud where babies come from\u2026 until Mama tells her to shut it and put on a proper dress. Elsewhere, the brilliant and fearless young Melchior interrupts a mind-numbing Latin drill to defend his buddy, Moritz \u2013 a boy so traumatized by puberty that he can\u2019t concentrate on anything\u2026 not that the Headmaster cares. He strikes them both and tells them to turn in their lesson. One afternoon, in a private place in the woods, Melchior and Wendla meet by accident and soon find within themselves a desire unlike anything they\u2019ve ever felt. As they fumble their way into one another\u2019s arms, Moritz flounders and soon fails out of school. When even his one adult friend, Melchior\u2019s mother, ignores his plea for help, he is left so distraught that he can\u2019t hear the promise of life offered by his outcast friend, Ilse. Naturally, the Headmasters waste no time in pinning the \u201ccrime\u201d of Moritz\u2019s suicide on Melchior to expel him. And soon, Mama learns that her little Wendla is pregnant.
