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!

Eva!

Hello?

Dad...

Telephone.

Telephone?

Come.

Hello.

No.

No.

What?

Yes.

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.

...Eva Hermann,

Defendant, Emil Hermann.

Asking for divorce of

their marrlage

because of

unmendable differences.

Put that in the next paragraph

and use stamps 5 and 10.

The request for divorce,

because of

unmendable differences

caused by the defendant,

is based on the following reasons,

hyphen...

This horrlble cold!

My marrlage was a mistake.

The very first day of it,

I realized

that we didn't have

anything in common at all.

Perlod.

Where is my handkerchief?

From the very first day on,

the defendants behavior...

No, the defendants egotistic and

careless behavior...

behavior...

Is it gonna be much longer?

I need more paper.

Three more pages.

Loni!

Loni!

Okay, this evening.

But into town

I have to drlve alone...

Because of the people.

Where have you been?

We have been waiting for you,

the whole night.

What more do you want

from me?

You.

It's too late.

Are you drlving

into town?

Would you

take me along?

A glass of water, please.

Of course.

Some change, please.

Some change,

please.

Some change, please...

Change, please...

Some change please...

There you go.

Six cylinders?

Nice car.

I'm happy that

I have met you.

Today I wouldn't

wanna break my neck.

I have...

I also will buy a car.

Also a two-seater.

Why should I drag along

a third person?

Isn't it?

Don't you feel well?

May I take you

to a hotel?

You have to take a rest.

It's the heat.

It's okay.

You will see, tomorrow

you will feel a lot better.

I think so, too.

Good evening.

Do you have

another wish?

No.

'My dear Mother!

Today, it is... '

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.
