The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant.

Sex is the ultimate weapon.

Petra von Kant is a successful fashion designer -- arrogant, caustic, and self-satisfied. She mistreats Marlene (her secretary, maid, and co-designer). Enter Karin, a 23-year-old beauty who wants to be a model. Petra falls in love with Karin and invites her to move in.

Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
