Annelie is a German film drama and a love story by the Hungarian director Josef von Báky from 1941. The literary film adaptation is based on the play Annelie, the story of a life by Walter Lieck . In the main role , Luise Ullrich embodies the apparently always unpunctual but devoted mother and wife Annelie.
action
Annelie is haunted by bad luck, it seems, because she always comes too late. Already at birth she was late when she missed the due date carefully planned by her parents, exactly at midnight on New Year's Eve 1871, by 15 minutes. This 15-minute delay seems to haunt Annelie her whole life: at the age of 16, she briefly missed taking part in a horse race and with a ruptured appendix, she actually comes to the clinic a quarter of an hour late (but the doctors manage to to save their lives). In the feverish dreams that always accompany her, one day she has a vision and resolves to be there on time whenever and wherever.
From then on, her life will change: Annelie marries the doctor who saved her life and has three children with him. At the beginning of the First World War , her husband and two children have to go to the front, while she becomes a sister in the Red Cross . When her husband is admitted to the hospital, severely wounded, she manages to see him again shortly before his death. When she receives a call from her son in the turmoil of the war, in which she learns that he has survived, Annelie has reached the end of her strength. After the phone call is over, Annelie sees her lack of punctuality, which she has been repeatedly accused of, overcome, her life's work fulfilled and sits in an armchair to die happily in it.

Reviews
The lexicon of international film certifies the film to be a “... soulful woman and family drama that was in keeping with the National Socialist ideal of female virtue”.
The Kinoportal Kino.de notes that the film is a family snitch that portrays the ideal of a woman, as was desired during the Nazi era .
