Plot summary

Beni, age 15, becomes enamoured with the lead singer of the struggling rock band "The Minks", Fögi Müller, who is ten years older than him.[4] Fögi ensnares him with the perceived glamor of being a musician, takes him on as the band's 'roadie', and at the same time seduces him. Beni unquestionably follows him, including following him into drug addiction. Beni's youthful innocence is destroyed in a milieu of sex, drinking, drugs, and rock-and-roll. He ends up prostituting himself to pay for Fögi's drug habit.
