A film adaptation of the most passionate, perhaps also the most dangerous traditional text in the German language. In “The Sorrows of Young Werther”, Goethe tells the story of a young man who, desperately in love with a young woman who belongs to another, commits suicide. Is it unrequited love alone that leads him to kill himself‾ Or are the origins of sorrow in an unhappy love to be found in a lack of love of one’s self‾
