Plot
Beautiful young German maid Katharina Blum meets Ludwig and they fall in love immediately and spend the night together. In the morning the police burst into her flat looking for Ludwig: he is a terrorist. But he is no longer there. Katharina is arrested, humiliated, suspected of being a terrorist herself, dragged through the mud by the newspapers. This film is a plea for democracy and individual rights.
