Synopsis:

Based on the international best-seller by Iny Lorentz and set in Konstanz at a time when the Church is struggling to maintain its moral authority. Marie Schaerer, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy cloth merchant is accused of Harlotry on the eve of her arranged marriage to the illigitimate son of a Duke. She is jailed, robbed of her innocence, whipped in public, and banished from the city. Injured and close to death, Marie is found by a group of travelling whores. Her only chance for survival is to become one. Driven by her intense hatred of the men who ruined her life and her desire for revenge, Marie takes on a new identity and returns to the city.

The story is set in the Middle Ages, at a time when the Church is struggling to maintain its moral authority and three Popes are fighting for power. In 1414 cardinals, abbots and bishops from the territories of Spain, France, the Italian city-states and all over Europe descend on the Holy Roman Empire to reunite the Catholic Church at the Council of Constance. Marie Schaerer, the charming and beautiful daughter of a wealthy and widowed cloth merchant, has lived a privileged life in Constance. Strong willed, her devoted father has denied her nothing - not even her childhood friendship with Michel Adler, whose family is poor. As they grew older, their friendship flowered into love. So when her father Mathis decides that Marie will be married to the lawyer Ruppertus Splendidus, the illegitimate son of a Duke, Marie violently protests. Not only may she no longer see Michel; she also instinctively distrusts Ruppertus. Still, she must bow to herfather's will - with fateful consequences.

The Whore (German: Die Wanderhure) is a 2010 television film adaptation of a novel by the same name. The film is set in Konstanz, Germany in the years 1414 and 1415.
