Divorcee Inge Herold is in her mid-30s and lives with her 15-year old son. She works as a psychologist and has a relationship with a married man. When she learns that she has breast cancer and should have an operation the following day, she is deeply disturbed and begins to take stock of her life. With a powerful, semi-autobiographical script by Helga Schubert, Apprehension is considered by critics to be East Germany’s greatest women's film.
