At Christine's funeral, her foster son suddenly shows up, a grown-up man with whom the family has been out of contact for quite some time. He brought a letter, stating that Christine wants to be buried in Wentelen, to the bewilderment of her biological children, and even more so to that of her husband. In addition to that, all the relatives are surprised that the foster son of Christine apparently maintained a correspondence with Christine. Nevertheless, Christine's last wish is respected, and they decided to bury her in Wentelen, and wish to do so traditionally, meaning: walking behind the hearse. During a walk of several days, all the relatives (foster sisters, foster father, alleged friends and real ones, the foster son, lovers) have enough time to get to know each other better. Because in the end they have no other conclusion than that nobody really knew anyone. Old intrigues are dug up, the foster sisters finally learn why the foster brother just disappeared from the family, and they can begin to develop a real image of the mother. Once Christine's final resting place is reached and she is buried, all family ties, good and bad, are shaken around.

狄德利希·赫斯林是奈泽西小城造纸厂老板的儿子。他从小欺软怕硬,害怕权势,又追求权势。他爱在老师面前打小报告,以看到别人挨批评而高兴。上了寄宿学校后,他更多的接触到女孩。当他获得他的爱情后,却拒绝与之结婚,因为她还有另外一个追求者,因为被他认为不够纯洁。他也拿到了博士学位。但不是为了就职或进行学术研究,而是为了追求金钱势力。他父亲去世后,由他接替父亲当造纸厂的老板。他见风使舵,周旋于自由党人和社会民... 《臣仆》是亨利希·曼批判现实主义文学的代表作。导演试图通过影片作一次人的本性的揭露。通过巧妙的蒙太奇和画面的叠化,对“臣仆精神”进行了无情的讽刺。当表现狄德利希·赫斯林的奴性时,利用,利用了俯视镜头,把他低三下四跪近皇帝的样子缩成蛆虫般大小。表现他以势欺人时,又利用了仰视镜头,把他放大到巨人一般,将帝国时代奴颜卑膝,可鄙而危害社会的德国小市民的典型刻画地淋漓尽致,
The story is carried by Mady, student by day, locksmith by night. But Claire, the enigmatic young woman she is helping out one night, isn’t what she seems to be. This door isn’t that of her apartment. And the bag she wants to recover at all costs isn’t hers, but Yannick’s, a man whose questions Mady will have to answer to. Caught in a hellish race, Mady only has one night to prove her innocence in a bustling city. One night to save her own skin.
The movie is generally lacking in character development. The film at one point follows the creepiest-looking gangster (Flavio Bucci from the "The Night Train Murders") to his home where he is shacking up with another gangster's wife and her kid, but more than character development this seems to be more an excuse for another sex scene. The Placido character has an interesting flashback of him working on a filthy fishing barge, which is contrasted with a fantasy where he is piloting a yacht. This movie is very class-conscious in the way it has this poor Sicilian boy falling for a rich, northern girl (the Italian title "La Orca" comes from the designer outfit she's wearing). Placido is pretty good here, but this handsome, light-complexioned hunk is not too convincing as a lower-class Sicilian ruffian. As for Neihaus, I can't decide if she is a bad actress, or is just playing a really obnoxious character (she's more Paris Hilton than Patty Hearst). She does get naked several times which, judging from the English, title was the primary consideration.
