An intimate anthology short, with each chapter thematically centered on someone taking a bath at a turning point in their life.

Prinzenbad gives us a microcosm of a society dominated by male power plays, wheeling and dealing, corruption, love, and eroticism.

It begins in a deserted public bath house, on a sultry summer afternoon. The building is blacked out and its landlady goes into men's bath to handle the situation. There, she accidentally witnesses something which afterwards causes irreversible changes in her life.
