You enter the Auditorium, eager to see the film. After the film had finished, it got you thinking about the issues that the film raises, here are some of the thoughts that you came up with:
 * The film starts and we are introduced to Emmanuel Rath, as a well repsected teacher.
 * He punished several students for circulating pictures of the beautiful Lolo Lola, this is the start of his decline.
 * Rath visits the club where the beautiful Lola Lola performs, he is under her spell and falls in love with her.
 * He spends the night with Lola, and is late for class the next day, he finds his class in mayhem.
 * Rath quits his job, because he wants to persue his love with Lola.
 * He struggles to deal with the fact that she is a "shared women"
 * Lola leaves Rath, and he is reduced to that place where his decline begins, sat at his desk - a ruined man.


 * One way of looking at the message the film gives out is that Germany was seedy and rotten at this point - this is shown through Lola, and her dirty lifestyle.
 * A second way of looking at the film is that it shows Weimar Germany does not care for previous rules - rules that meant that women were held with lower esteem than men.
