A musical film based on biographical facts about Clara Vick's love for composer Robert Schuman (1810-1856), about a marriage made against her will, Schumann's triumph and a tragic end due to a mental disorder. The film is beautiful and entertaining, full of noble spirit and beautiful words about art and love that conflict only in a theoretical context; not least thanks to solid actors, this film is quite serious and far from kitsch. Completed in 1944, during the Second World War, the film was rejected by the Nazi leadership, but was then released and enjoyed success with a public already tired of the war. close

Country Dr. Robert Koch is desperate: a tuberculosis epidemic is decimating the children in his district and no one is able to do anything about it. Every fourth child is already sick and the parents must helplessly watch as their young ones die. Now Koch is undertaking to find the cause of the tuberculosis --- something he has already been working on for years --- which has been causing this plague of illness. His work is made more difficult by envy; for example, that of his teacher, who was wounded defending his honor. But his greatest obstacle is the famous Berliner scientist and Reichstag deputy, Privy Councilor Rudolf Virchow: He is extraordinarily skeptical of Koch's theory, that the cause for tuberculosis is a bacteria. close
