action

The film tells a fictional story about Lina Loos , née Carolina Obertimpfler, during her marriage to the architect Adolf Loos from 1902 to 1905.

In Vienna in 1902, the 19-year-old drama student Carolina Obertimpfler is considered a sought-after woman in a group of artists and writers. The writer Peter Altenberg is also one of her friends . In his company, she met the twelve-year-old architect Adolf Loos and immediately accepted his spontaneous marriage proposal. Lina sees marriage as an opportunity to escape her parents' home and hopes for a free life with Loos, who represents modern views. However, he increasingly restricts Lina with regulations and rules of conduct. In many areas of life Adolf has modern, but above all strict ideas. Lina feels patronized by Adolf.

Lina meets the high school student Heinz Lang , son of the women's rights activist Marie Lang , with whom she starts an affair. The entire environment, from Peter Altenberg to the women's rights activist Sofie von Waldegg, knows about them. Adolf Loos was the last to discover her and asked Lina to decide either to stay with him or to follow Heinz Lang to England. Lina goes to a remote hunting lodge in the mountains for three months. When you follow Adolf after this time to pick her up, she tells him that in the future she would like to live alone and preserve herself. Years later, she reads a newspaper article from that time with a report about Lang's death that he shot himself in England after an unknown woman had given him the passport .
