Aufstand im Bordell - Frauenhandel um 1900

In the spring of 1902, Marie König, a Viennese working-class daughter, runs away from her beating father and is lured into a high-class brothel by an agent. Instead of the promised self-determined life "with horse-drawn carriage rides and silk dresses", she experiences closed doors, violence and exploitation. Only after years of agony does Marie confide in the journalist Emil Bader, who makes the brothel's conditions public and takes owner Regine Riehl to court.
