La Découverte d'un secret
6.3
À l'occasion d'une partie de chasse, un groupe d'amis se réunit dans le château de la famille Vogelöd. Mais l'arrivée du comte Johann Oetsch, soupçonné du meurtre de son frère survenu trois ans plus tôt, vient troubler l'harmonie du groupe. La tension est à son comble lorsqu'arrivent enfin la veuve du frère de Oetsch et son nouvel époux, le baron Safferstätt. Préférant dans un premier temps s’en aller, la baronne se ravise en apprenant l’arrivée prochaine du Père Pharamond - moine et parent de son premier mari - décidant de se confesser à lui. Le comte Oetsch, bien décidé à découvrir la vérité et ainsi prouver son innocence, profite alors du fait qu’aucune des personnes présentes au château ne connaisse le Père Pharamond pour se faire passer pour celui-ci et écouter la confession de la baronne.

Friedrich Schiller - Eine Dichterjugend

In his film version, Curt Goetz shifts the focus away from the poetic output towards the young Friedrich Schiller himself: on the misery of his soul whilst a pupil of the ducal military academy, his opposition to the strict physical drill and the narrow intellectual confines of the "Karlsschule", his juvenile passion for the works of Shakespeare, Klopstock and Lessing, his anger at unjust authorities, his devotion to women, and finally his inability to cope with financial matters

Mädchen am Kreuz

Aug 26, 1929
The young student Mary spends the beginning of her holiday with boat trips, visits to her wealthy groom, and gardening. In fast-paced, rhythmic cuts, Louise and Jakob Fleck draw their audience into a carefree, urban romantic comedy. With a single scene, however, it turns into a melodrama about sexual violence, shame and perpetrator-victim reversal.
