Michaela befriends a fellow student and a love affair begins with a chemistry student. Their relative happiness is interrupted by epileptic seizures; it gains the conviction that she was possessed by the devil. During a study work it is increased in a manic working noise, which ends in a mental breakdown. Her friend wants to bring in psychiatry, but she brings her boyfriend in her parents' house.
