Summary: .”Characters and events are fictitious. Should the description of certain journalistic practices bear any similarity to the practices of the Bild-Zeitung this is neither intentional, nor fortuitious, but unavoidable.” As story of the systematic victimization of a proud young woman. In a period of several days, Katharina’s privacy and, particulary, her honor are destroyed, first by the police, and then by the yellow press. An important example of the Renaissance in German moviemaking.
