What it’s about. The marriage of Katrin and Richard Lot has become a routine. She has a career and he, as a Marine officer, comes home only once every fourteen days. The children greet him with joy, but she greets him only with anxiety because their marriage is missing its key ingredient: love. She wants a divorce, but he refuses mainly out of comfort as well as due to pressure from the party. Katrin finds a strange solution: she shoplifts and is put on probation for three months. This is enough to force Richard into a divorce because he is concerned about the "moral liability" of his wife.
Who’s in it. Lot's Wife stars Marita Böhme as Katrin Lot, Günther Simon as Richard Lot, Klaus Piontek as Paul Lehmann and Gerry Wolff as Max Braun, among others.
