IMDB information:

Title: Die Spalte (1971)
Genres: Drama
Description: 15 year old Sophie escapes from an orphanage to get away from the authoritarian rule of the nuns who run it. On the street she doesn’t find freedom but a pimp who picks her up and makes her a prostitute.Visually the movie goes beyond the limits. One explicitly shown rape scene follows the other. Sophie’s body is dragged around, beaten, raped and dragged around again. You get only a view glimpses on her personality hidden behind that surface.The movie swims on the sexploitation wave that flooded German cinema in the late 60s but it goes beyond a cheap arousement. It’s comparable to Ulrike Meinhof’s "Bambule", that shows the fate of runaway girls forced into sex work. Meinhof’s movie was on TV in May 1970. A few months later Meinhof joined the RAF terror group to fight a society that produced fates like Sophie’s. The end of this movie might be seen as a comment on this development. It deliverers for sure the "and storm break loose" urge for violence that overshared German history in the decade to come.
