Перед Сочельником пути многих людей пересекаются. У каждого из них в этот день своя особенная история ... Врач детской поликлиники с радостным сердцем покидает больницу утром 24 декабря. Родители маленького Матиаса снова помирились. На прощание привратник преподносит ей шоколадного Деда Мороза, которого часто следует проходить в этот день: при той или иной мимолетной встрече, в качестве милого жеста для других. Судьба играет немного Кнехта Рупрехта и раздает его дары. Два одиноких сердца спешат спастись от праздничной суеты. Несчастный случай сводит их обоих вместе. За бутылку игристого вина в этом испуге сладкий шоколадный мужчина меняется на разведенного мужа Ильзы, которого каждый год в одно и то же время тянет обратно к семье на колени.

In an enchanted forest, the princely brothers Michael and Andreas get lost and are transformed, by a mountain spirit who jealously guards his underground treasure, into animals until the unlikely event of sincere love from a human. The only persons who may be able to give such love are the local commoner sisters Snow-white and Rose-red, who are kind and helpful by nature and stand to harvest unimagined rewards.

Glück im Hinterhaus

Glück im Hinterhaus
Lotte in Weimar
Egon Günther
Lilli Palmer, Martin Hellberg
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 German romantic movement. The book's story tells of young love and suicide. In this East German film, based on a book by Thomas Mann, Lotte (Lilli Palmer) was the woman who served as the model for the heroine in 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-heroic movie.
