The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972) - The plot revolves around a love and power theme: how in a relationship one person gets the upper hand while the other gets needy and clingy. In this case the main character, Petra von Kant (Margit Carstensen), is a fashion designer who’s success destroyed her marriage. Now she is alone and miserable until one day a friend introduces her to Karin Thimm (Hanna Schygulla), a beatiful young girl with dreams of making it as a model. And now Petra throws herself at Karin and finds herself in the inferior position. Hence the bitter tears.
Female fashion designer meets young female model. It sounds like cliché but this is 1972 long before lesbians became a common spice in the movies.
