Following her mother's abrupt demise, a relationship with her stepfather begins. A lodger blackmails the two with the accusation of incest and, revealed as a pimp, he makes Josefine become a prostitute working for him. Josefine then begins a career as a sex worker, with the goal to eventually become an upscale courtesan in Vienna.[3]
