Plot

Liebesleute (People in Love) was based on Goethe's Herman and Dorothea, updated to 1936 Berlin. Dorothea (Renate Muller), a farm girl, falls in love with wealthy young Herman (Gustav Froelich). This does not sit well with Herman's gentrified parents, who have already selected a "proper" bride for their son. Herman and Dorothea decide to elope to the Big City, where they find that life can be very unkind and unfair. After much heartbreak and disappointment, Dorothea arranges a reconciliation between Herman and his parents. All is forgiven, the lovers are reunited, and, as a bonus, the wheat crop comes in on time!
