Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was the author of Werther, the romantic novel that was transformed into a play during Goethe s lifetime and which initiated the whole French romantic mouvement. The book's story tells of young love and suicide. Dans this East German film, based on a book by Thomas Mann, Lotte (Lilli Palmer), ce qui the woman who served as the model for the héroïne dans the novel Werther. She comes to Goethe s hometown for a visit and her experiences there eerily re-create episodes from the book. Goethe comes across as a pompous old bore, and his friends as pandering sycophants, in this very proper communist party-sponsored, anti-héroïque movie.
