Synopse

Hamburg in the early 1960s: Gisela Werler (Nadeshda Brennicke), 30, is a shrinking violet who works in a wallpaper factory. When she gets to know Hermann Wittorff (Charly Hübner), her life changes immediately. Hermann and his mate are bank robbers. At first, Gisela just helps out, but soon she is the driving force behind their criminal careers. She leaves the old Gisela behind and starts a double life as a mundane "bank lady": in expensive coats and shoes, wig and sunglasses, she piles up more and more money. The papers make her into a sex symbol and the whole country is mystified: who is this woman? Gisela takes ever greater risks for the sake of her new life, her freedom and her love for Herrmann.
