Amor im Quartier is a German silent film love comedy from 1915 with Aud Egede Nissen .
action
At the beginning of the First World War . One day, a young German lady of the castle near the border with France receives a soldier's visit. Billing is the name of the game, and one of the young soldiers who are being housed in her property is Lieutenant Bodo, whom she knows from the previous winter ball. She cannot deny that the dashing officer made a certain impression on her back then. Bodo also shows interest in the young castle owner, and when he learns that she is now widowed, he wants to propose to her. Since Madame doesn't just want to stumble into an adventure with someone who is largely unknown to her, however, she instructs her maid, who has gotten into a mess with Bodo's boys, to hear about the future.
It is mainly about Bodo's moral qualities. The boy is extremely fond of storytelling, and so the woman who wants to marry finds out that the man who is planning to marry her has so far not let anything burn and turns every woman's head. Angry about this, the lady of the castle tells the man that she is really not available because she is engaged to a French officer. To make this ruse believable, the young woman steps into a French uniform and lets her maid take a picture of her. When she is playing her own groom in this elevator, she is watched by guards securing the lock and mistaken for an enemy soldier who has penetrated. The lady of the castle is quickly locked up in her own property, in Lieutenant Bodo's room of all places. When he returns from a business trip, everything clears up, and both of them embrace.
