Ariane and Gerhard, a wealthy Munich couple, are off on separate holidays. Both have arranged liaisons with their lovers: he with his long-time mistress, she with Gerhard’s assistant. But the couples are in for a weekend of shocking revelations when they both arrive at the family country estate.
A country estate becomes the decadent stage set for this elegant chamber piece from the high priest of existential ennui. Fassbinder spins a complex web of lies and deceit to create this simmering drama of marital tensions and everyday fascism, starring Anna Karina and Brigitte Mira.
