A lonely widow meets a much younger Arab worker in a bar during a rainstorm. They fall in love, to their own surprise--and to the outright shock of their families, colleagues, and drinking buddies. In this film, wildly prolific director Rainer Werner Fassbinder expertly uses the emotional power of classic Hollywood melodrama to expose the racial tensions underlying contemporary German culture.
