Dr. Ivar Andersson, introduced by his colleague, Sigrid Mall, is the new German teacher for the underclassmen in a girl’s high school. As is to be expected, there’s soon a whole swarm of girls vying for his attention, but none as much as Kerstin Dahlberg, who lives with her Aunt Betty. Andersson is more than aware of the girl’s feelings for him and it pains his conscience to discover, he’s as hot for her as she is for him. He tells Sigrid about the situation, who strongly recommends separation, but Andersson rejects this as desertion.

Träumerei poster
10.0

A musical film based on biographical facts about Clara Wieck's love for composer Robert Schumann (1810-1856), her marriage against her will, Schumann's triumph, and his tragic end due to mental illness. The film is beautiful and entertaining, full of noble spirit and beautiful words about art and love, which only conflict in a theoretical context; not least thanks to its solid cast, this film is quite serious and far from kitsch. Completed in 1944, during World War II, the film was rejected by the Nazi leadership, but was eventually released and enjoyed success with an audience already weary of war.

When the plot fails, Lola is once again forced to flee, this time to Munich, where she captures the attention of Ludwig I.
