3류 포주 프란츠(라이너 베르너 파스빈더)는 범죄 조직 가입 권유를 받고 이를 거절했다가 조직원들에게 폭력을 당한다. 프란츠는 그를 구타한 조직원 중 잘 생긴 브루노(울리히 롬멜)를 사랑하게 되고, 연인이자 창녀인 요한나(한나 쉬굴라)를 그와 함께 나누고 싶어한다. 하지만 조직은 브루노에게 살인 임무를 맡기면서 프란츠도 동참하도록 계략을 짜고, 결국 이들은 함께 은행을 털기로 한다. 전형적인 헐리우드 범죄영화 스토리를 따르고 있으나, 건조한 캐릭터와 불친절한 내러티브 등 실험정신으로 충만한 파스빈더의 첫 장편 데뷔작.

파스빈더 자신의 동명연극을 영화로 만든 작품. ‘카첼마허’는 지중해 연안에서 독일로 이민 온 노동자를 가리키는 말이다. 뮌헨 변두리에서 무기력하게 살아가던 한 무리의 젊은이들은 그리스인 노동자 요르고스의 출현으로 변화를 맞이하게 된다. 남자들은 이방인을 적대하며 요르고스에게 집단폭력을 휘두르지만, 여자들은 그에게 복잡한 감정을 느낀다. 요르고스는 자신에게 호의를 보이는 마리에게 사랑을 느끼고 그녀를 고향에 데려갈 꿈을 꾼다. 뮌헨 변두리를 배경으로 독일사회의 경직성과 활력 없음을 보여주는 동시에, 사랑의 종속-착취 관계를 그려낸 작품. 단조로운 화면과 반복적인 행동, 소통되지 못하는 단속적인 대사들을 통해 위축된 소시민의 삶을 차갑게 그리고 있다.
