Rita est une adolescente exclue de la banlieue autrichienne, incomprise à la fois à l'école, où elle est dédaignée par ses camarades de classe, et à la maison, où sa mère résolument religieuse et son père capricieux déplorent son incapacité à s'intégrer dans leur vie bourgeoise confortable. Lorsque Rita entreprend de séduire son chauffeur de bus scolaire, elle déclenche une série d'événements qui changent irrévocablement la vie de chacun.Comments
