Claus comes from a working-class background in Berlin. Fresh out of juvenile detention – he served time for petty theft – he meets Hertha. She impresses Claus with her self-confidence, and he also thinks she's a "classy woman." Claus finds a place to stay with Hertha, who is recently divorced and a bit older than him. At first, everything goes well. Hertha, a committed nudist, even takes him on a naturist holiday. But one day, she tells the bewildered Claus that she plans to open a bookstore with her friend – and move in with her. Claus's world collapses... The film "The Classy Woman" was particularly well-received by both viewers and the press when it premiered in 1982. This production, directed by Rainer Wolffhardt, won several television awards. Viola Sauer, already well-known to a wide audience through the television series "Read Yesterday" and various television films, was cast in the title role. Other main roles are played by, among others, Detlef Kessler, Ulrike Blome, Heidrun Kussin, Roland Nitschke, Friedrich W. Bauschulte and Joachim Tennstedt.
