Utterly unaware that the intriguingly mysterious and handsome stranger, Ludwig Götten, is an alleged terrorist, the innocent and apolitical housemaid, Katharina Blum, has a night of passion after a late-night party. The following morning, an armed-to-the-teeth police squad ransacks her tiny apartment, triggering an endless nightmare, as both the authoritarian right-wing police and the ruthless gutter press commence a deliberate character assassination. Now, amid rampant terrorist hysteria and savage media frenzy, the fate of the courageous Katharina lies in the hands of a handful of men. Will her life return to normalcy? Will Katharina ever restore her lost honour?
