Nominees and Awards
Synopsis
The successful fashion designer Petra von Kant lives in an opulently furnished loft with her assistant and servant Marlene, who executes all her orders without a word and who endures all her moods. Petra falls in love with Karin, 10 years her junior, whom she wants all to herself. While Karin exploits the affluent Petra, she also insists on her own independence. When Karin’s husband arrives unexpectedly from Australia, she returns to him. Petra is desperate. She offers Marlene — heretofore treated like an object — collaboration, liberty, fun. But Marlene packs her suitcase and leaves without a word.
