synopsis
This is an uneven, intermittently dull drama about a redhead, Franziska (Ruth Leuwerik) who looks for fulfillment and finds just the opposite. Franziska walks away from a failed marriage and an equally inadequate love affair and goes to Vienna to find a job and start over. Once in the city she meets all the wrong men, including an expatriate Brit who has his own past to forget. As her relationship with these different men progresses, Franziska sinks deeper and deeper into a tangled set of circumstances that lead only to decadence, anger, and a general cesspool of negative emotions.
