Based on Heinrich Boll's novel, this is a film denouncing the German press and police as the story appeals for respect for human rights. The story evolves around Katharina Blum (Angela Winkler) who falls in love and, naively, lets her new lover, Ludwig (Jurgen Prochnow) spend the night. The next morning, he has disappeared, the police are at her door, and she is arrested. Too late, Katharina learns that her lover is a terrorist and traitor, and she will be the victim of persecution.
