*Please be warned this presentation contains scenes of violence towards women. This is the story of Franz Biberkopf (Günter Lamprecht), who, without much perspective, with no goal and no work, stumbles through Berlin in the years 1928/29. While he is a good-natured, soft and tender man on the one hand, he is also a tough, choleric, and brutal human being. What keeps him alive is the conviction that although the world may be an evil place, humankind is good natured. “Damned is he who relies on other humans,” is the novel’s leitmotiv, but Franz Biberkopf always gets over it, recovers from the blows, until that which he loves most in the world is taken away from him. He cannot stand it anymore, is taken to a mental institution and turns into what they call “reasonable” – and this is when it is all over for him. Lina is now troubled by the dubious nature of the job Franz is fulfilling. She introduces him to a family friend, Otto Lüders, who turns out to be an ex-con he knows from prison, but Franz thinks Otto is a good man. With him, Franz begins selling shoelaces door-to-door. In the first apartment, Franz spends time with a widow whose deceased husband he closely resembles. Later, to Otto, he reports having sex with the widow. The next day, Otto goes to the widow’s home and expects the same, but she feels threatened and rejects him. Otto demands money and steals from her. When Franz goes back to the widow, happily expecting another tryst, she slams the door on him. Franz vanishes. Lina distraught, searches for him with Meck. They wake Otto in the early morning, but Meck recognises that his account is full of lies and hits him. Franz is found in a flophouse by Otto, who is immediately threatened with a chair. Otto offers him a share of the money Franz realises has been extorted from the widow, but wanting to go straight, he pours the contents of a chamber pot over Otto. Meck gets Franz’s location out of Otto, but Franz had left soon after the earlier incident. Meck persuades Lina that Franz wishes to be left alone, and suggests she live with him.
