In the background, Rosa von Praunheim sings a love song in a foreign language. The sound engineer counts as the camera moves over Rosa’s black plastic jacket. Carla Aulaulu sings while a young girl (also Carla) collapses from exhaustion while climbing stairs with a shopping bag. An erotic relationship is suggested as the camera focuses on the bag swinging between the maid’s thighs. The maid struggles to make tea for the Klostermann family, who sit stiffly in evening gowns with plastic egg cups on their heads and paper in their noses. One daughter stabs the maid. The family watches the maid’s excessive dancing, amused and embarrassed. Carla collapses repeatedly, with a twitch being the last.
