A Honra Perdida de Katharina Blum

Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum oder: Wie Gewalt entstehen und wohin sie führen kann

Katharina Blum and Ludwig Göette fall in love at first sight at a carnival party and spend the night together. The next morning, the young woman's apartment is invaded by the police. Ludwig has disappeared, but Katharina is taken prisoner. She did not know that she had just become involved with one of the most wanted terrorism suspects by German intelligence. From a simple police case, Katharina's story becomes a national scandal when reporter Werner Töetges, from the sensationalist newspaper Zeitung, starts to cover the case. Unscrupulous and just looking for shocking facts to publish - whether true or not - the journalist starts to harass all the people who were part of the young woman's personal life.
