A straightforward, unsentimental portrait of an innocent person's struggle against victimization by the press, The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum is based on the novel of the same name by Nobel prize-winning author Heinrich Böll. Katharina Blum is a young German maid who after a night together with her new boyfriend, awakes to the police bursting into her flat, looking for her lover: an alleged terrorist. But he is no longer there and instead Katharina is arrested, humiliated, suspected to be a terrorist herself... Starring Angela Winkler, Mario Adorf, Dieter Laser, and Jürgen Prochnow, The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum is a political drama that serves as a plea for democracy and individual rights, co-directed by Margarethe Von Trotta and acclaimed German filmmaker Volker Schlöndorff (Die Blechtrommel aka The Tin Drum).
