This made-for-television period drama set in early nineteenth-century Bremen focuses on an abused wife and mother turned serial murderer who obtains the titled "freedom" with the help of a poison bottle. Fassbinder based his work on an historical account of a middle-class woman and pillar of the community who managed to kill not only a tyrannical spouse and her own harping mother but also another dozen or so additional individuals.
