The poor child Inger must endure trials of an almost biblical nature before her heart can be saved by true love. First, Inger is rejected by the love of her youth, Hans, who chooses a rich man’s daughter instead. Because of this, she gets thrown out into the street by her own mother but finds refuge with an acrobat in a travelling circus. When the circus performer dies in an accident, Inger gives birth to a fatherless child who doesn’t survive the night, for which she is even accused of infanticide. Guilt overwhelms Hans as he hears about Inger’s tragedies. Can Hans’ repentance save the lost Inger? (Stumfilm.dk)

Das Lied ist aus

Oct 07, 1930
Das Lied ist Aus (The Song Is Ended) is a typical early-talkie German musical in every respect, save one. The story, concerning the lives and loves of show folk, ends unhappily -- and surprisingly so. The doleful denouement didn't seem to have much effect on the film's box-office appeal, since Das Lied ist Aus proved a major moneymaker.

En 1860, dans un village juif de Galicie, le jeune Baruch, fils de rabbin, se découvre une passion pour le théâtre.

Mais Baruch, poussé par son désir de jouer, rompt avec son milieu et part sur les routes en rejoignant une troupe de comédiens itinérants. Remarqué par l’archiduchesse Élisabeth-Thérèse de Lorraine, devant laquelle il s’est produit, il devient vite une vedette des planches. Malgré son succès, Baruch reste habité par la nostalgie des siens, et tentera de renouer avec sa famille.
