Ecstasy (1933) - full transcript
Eva has just gotten married to an older gentleman, but discovers that he is obsessed with order in his life and doesn't have much room for passion. She becomes despondent and leaves him, returning to her father's house. One day while bathing in the lake she meets a young man and they fall in love. The husband has become grief stricken at the loss of his young bride, and fate brings him together with the young lover that has taken Eva from him.

Cry, when love
broke your heart...
Flowers bloom
and wither
to then grow again,
when the sweet song of the birds
is heard in the fields
and woods.
Like a man's love
comes back with wanting
and regrets,
like the blood
runs back to the heart,
that's how life circulates.
Cry, when love
broke your heart.
Cry, why shouldn't you?
And laugh,
like youth and beauty do
when life still promises
joy and happiness.
Cry, when love
broke your heart.
Cry, why shouldn't you?
Eva!
Eva!

Hello?
Dad...

Come.
Hello.

Good night.
Why did I have to lie?
So that I have
my peace.
So that you have
your peace.
So that you
have your peace...
What happened?
Nothing, Dad.
Nothing?!
As if I could hear
your mum talk.
You still have your
whole life ahead.
Yes, that's exactly why.
Good night.
Daddy!
I have never
understood you,
neither you
nor your mother.

Terrlble...
And I'm partly
responsible.
What...?
You know
who that is?
No.
I don't know...
We came here together.
I should have seen it
in his eyes.
And I could have
prevented it...
If I consider that he
had also loved someone.
So you don't know it?
Come...
We will wait at the
train station overnight.
Excuse me.
Do we now have
a connection to Berlin?
No, first there is one
in the other direction,
but the next one
has a connection.
Thank you.
There you can still sleep
for a long time.
Your son had an accident.
Please come immediately.
Tell him...
No...
Don't tell him
anything.
