Christiane, lonely and alienated, lives with her divorced mother. When a school friend takes her to a club where her hero David Bowie plays, she finds herself in another world, one she is desperate to be a part of.

This compelling story is played against a memorable soundtrack from David Bowie, who also features in a live performance. Christiane F is one of the most powerful films ever made.
