action
Anna has just worked the first week of her life and is receiving her first weekly wage: a ten-mark note with the registration number K 13513. Andreas marks it with a cross and Anna gives it to her mother, who hides it in her Bible. Anna's brother Robert steals the bill from his mother and uses it to buy a knife that turns him into a murderer. The mother then tries to take her own life and Anna loses her job. Your furniture is to be foreclosed. In her financial distress, she turns to the wealthy director Haniel, who has clear ulterior motives for his good deeds. When Anna sees through the real intentions of Haniel, she flees to Andreas, who in turn has sold his bike to buy Anna's furniture. He got Anna's ten-mark note back when he sold the bicycle. A sign for them to stay together now.
Reviews
- Rheinische Zeitung, October 16, 1926: A living view of our time is the best lesson for a better future. Thanks be to Berthold Viertel for this film of the lightless present.
- Die Welt am Monday, November 1st, 1926: Berthold Viertel shines into the gray of everyday life and he holds it firmly in a very fine, optical setting. You can feel the love for the work with him everywhere, to make even the most unimportant characteristic ...
- Siegfried Kracauer in the Frankfurter Zeitung, December 5, 1926: The director gives a number of exciting image details from unfamiliar perspectives: street scenes, symbolic details. Now and then you succeed in mirroring the torn life; so in the one sequence of images that chases through all the adventures of the banknote in flight again.
