Sounds actually like a good premise for an entertaining movie. However, the result is fairly disappointing. The first 15 of these 22 minutes we are basically watching a play on stage. The protagonists are played by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and actors who appeared regularly in his films, like a young Hanna Schygulla. The director and writer here is unusually not Fassbinder himself, but Jean-Marie Straub. It's black and white and none of the action is interesting, maybe also because of the fixed camera for the first 15 minutes. The last seven minutes are very different. Other location, a marriage out of nowhere and other characters/actors. As a whole I wasn't impressed with this at all. Not recommended, unless for Fassbinder completionists.
