criticism
“Not only biographical and historical details are told: The great Kruse actress Friederike Becht succeeds in creating a very personal portrait of a modern woman with her unaffected Katharina, who, despite her friendliness, also looks challengingly mockingly at the circumstances. It's a woman who doesn't just marvel at men: Katharina Simon wants to do it herself - quite literally. "
