    • Synopsis
    • A modern pop fairytale. Germany 1772 - The young and tumultuous Johann Goethe (Alexander Fehling) is sent by his father to a sleepy little town to mend his ways after failing his law exams. At first, he tries to do his best at the Supreme Court and even convinces his superior Kestner (Moritz Bleibtreu). But then Lotte (Miriam Stein) enters his life and nothing is the same as before as they fall in love with one another. However, Johann is unaware that Lotte is in fact already promised by her father (Burghart Klaußner) to Kestner...The dramatic and unfulfilled love between the poet and Lotte was the template for his masterpiece "The Sorrows of Young Werther".
