German drama co-written and directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Set in the 1950s, in a period of German economic expansion, it follows the double life of Lola (Barbara Sukowa), a steamy cabaret singer and single mother from the town of Coburg. When building inspector Von Bohm (Armin Mueller-Stahl) begins an investigation into corrupt local property developer and brothel owner Schukert (Mario Adorf), he soon finds himself in a difficult position after falling in love with the alluring Lola, who just happens to be Schukert's ex-lover.
