GALILA is a fragment of a young woman who has a mind of her own. Rebellious, honest and incredibly warm. Working in top gastronomy in Berlin for some time now, she still lives unofficially in a substandard apartment, her very own empire.

Germany in the autumn of 1957: Lola, a seductive cabaret singer-prostitute exults in her power as a temptress of men, but she wants out—she wants money, property, and love. Pitting a corrupt building contractor against the new straight-arrow building commissioner, Lola launches an outrageous plan to elevate herself in a world where everything, and everyone, is for sale. Shot in childlike candy colors, Fassbinder’s homage to Josef von Sternberg’s classic The Blue Angel stands as a satiric tribute to capitalism.
