Irm Hermann

Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1972 tale of an arrogant but successful fashion designer, her mistreated secretary, and the new 23-year-old model she falls in love with.

Hans is a street fruit peddler and born-loser. His choice of career upsets his bourgeois family, causing him to turn to drinking and violence. After recovering from a debilitating heart attack, his business finally begins to take off. However the more he becomes a credit to his family, the more depressed he becomes.
