- This German format is not a series properly speaking, as it has no permanent cast or script continuity, but presents each time a 45 minutes documentary, usually in part presented as a docudrama (not faction, as close to scientific knowledge as possible, but visually attractive), elaborating a specific historical theme, widely varied, often exotic in the sense of a far time (as far back as prehistoric times) and/or place (around the globe), although some episodes fit together well, chronologically or thematically, but always fit to be watched separately. Usually authentic locations are used, as well as scenes from and/or interviews about the scientific research it is based upon.

In the first part of the film, we see the story of Elsa, a 17 years old girl who is from a very wealthy family and who lives in Eur, one of Rome's richest neighborhoods. Elsa is very lucky, beautiful, young and rich but, she is not happy; she is not happy of the lack of values and the hypocrisy the surrounds her and her family members. She is lonely, she has no goals, no reasons to live. In the end of the first part, Elsa commits suicide by using the kitchen gas and putting her head inside the oven. In the beginning of the second part of the film, we are in a completely different location: Nuova, Ostia, one of the worst parts of Rome. Nuova Ostia is a village made of huts where underworld and poorest people live a very miserable life made-up of violence and abuse. Now, we are following the story of a different Elsa; she is also 17 years old, very attractive but definitely unlucky. She is in a very poor and dysfunctional family. Her mother, the other members of her family and everybody who surrounds her victimize Elsa with abuse and violence. She cannot handle all this, she cannot handle the vulgarity and the life she is living in this environment. In the end of the second part, Elsa commits suicide by throwing herself under a train. The judgement on Rome of the late 70's comes out loud and clear; there has to be something very wrong in a society that brings two beautiful and good spirited girls of very different social classes to commit suicide.
