Rainer Werner Fassbinder once again examines the harsh reality of everyday life in this engaging close-up portrait of a downtrodden fruit seller named Hans. Full of hope after serving with the Foreign Legion, Hans became a policeman only to be fired for an indiscretion with a prostitute, humiliating himself and his family. Hungry for a piece of the economic boom of the 1950s, Hans began selling produce from a cart, much to the dismay of his class conscious family. Saddled with a shrewish wife, Hans derives most of his pleasure from drink and flirting with a former lover, whom he truly loves. However, when Hans hires a former Foreign Legion friend to help in his business, things suddenly turn around, though unfortunately making Hans irrelevant in the process. THE MERCHANT OF FOUR SEASONS was a turning point in Fassbinder`s career, marking the beginning of his films becoming international events and the subsequent scrutiny of his notorious private life.
