Christiane F." is a film about addictions—not just to drugs, but also to the need for love. Christiane F. did everything she could to avoid being the last girl to experience certain things: the last to use heroin, the last to lose her virginity, the last to overdose. She was never a saint, and she knew it; she was caught in an addiction beyond understanding. She just wanted to pursue her love and be like him, even if it corrupted her and ultimately led to her downfall.
