Lot's Wife

The marriage of Katrin and Richard Lot has become dull and routine. She has a job that fulfills her, he comes home only once a fortnight as a naval officer. The children welcome him joyfully, Katrin with uneasiness, because their marriage lacks the one crucial thing: love. She wants a divorce. He refuses, mainly out of convenience and because of the reproaches to be expected in his political party group. Katrin resorts to an unusual means. She shoplifts in a department store and is sentenced to three months' probation. Now he files for divorce because of his wife's "moral instability".
