She has a daughter who is educated in the boarding school. Petra also employs Marlene (Hermann), a servant who is completely mute and constantly mistreated by Petra. Petra meets the much younger Karin (Schygulla) and they start a relationship. After some time it turns out that Karin doesn't love her. Petra has a nervous breakdown insulting her mother, sister and daughter whom she maintains. In the end Petra and Karin reach a reconciliation of sorts, but Karin still leaves.

The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant / int_2ed5e99d	comment	Depraved Bisexual: Karin, who is married to a man. Petra might qualify too, as she has gone through two marriages to men (first as a widow, then more recently as a divorcee). What counts is that both are depraved and with gusto. It is a Fassbinder movie, after all.

The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant / int_318fc454	comment	Meal Ticket: Aside from whatever feelings she might have for Petra, it's clear that Karin is all too happy of living at Petra's expenses and using her to launch her modeling career. It's worth noting that she dumps Petra to reunite with he husband after she gets her photo published in a magazine, cementing her notoriety
