Overview
Peter and Katarina are at a marital crossroads, but, when he brutally kills a burlesque dancer, their domestic squabbles are rendered trivial by comparison. In the wake of the crime, the film backtracks, painting a portrait of the fraught union between Peter and Katarina. When does a marriage go bad? What causes a member of the German bourgeoisie to murder an innocent woman?

00:00:06 From the Life of the Marionettes
00:06:45 I guess everyone is troubled by something, don't you think?
00:10:48 Finally some blood is shed. One of us triumphs, the other is destroyed...
00:14:16 Things would turn out differently. You wouldn't have your experience...
00:17:52 You don't need to understand. - But now I'm curious.
00:22:12 I also have an intuition.
00:25:34 They got engaged and planned to get married after finishing college.
00:31:32 He always tries to fondle me in secret.
00:34:40 I was in the bathroom, drying myself with a freshly washed, rough towel...
00:38:54 Which means that...
00:43:07 Not true fidelity.
00:46:34 Then the soul.
00:50:26 They're secret powers. Do they have a name? I don't know.
00:54:41 You know Peter Egermann? - Of course.
00:58:03 We were to have a mutual secret.
01:01:44 It felt good like this.
01:06:13 I knew I'd killed her in some cruel...
01:10:36 And I thought I could still manage that. I always have.
01:14:27 We had capital.
01:18:20 the guilt...
01:23:30 Later in the police report they call it a "routine visit".
