Beloved Sisters
(0.00 / 0 votes)- Did you get any sleep?
- I'm far too excited.
Sleep.
It's hard to get any sleep.
Write to me.
Nelly, drive the chickens into the pen.
Come on.
Lollo...
What a strenuous journey.
I'll be glad to arrive in Weimar.
BELOVED SISTERS:
Do the ladies mind if I smoke?
No, I like smoking myself.
In autumn 1787
young Charlotte von Lengefeld
enters her godmother's service
in Weimar.
She was sent to the Duchy
of Saxony-Weimar's capital,
hoping her aunt
Charlotte Albertine Ernestine von Stein
could turn her into a lady of the court.
- Yes, please?
- Charlotte von Lengefeld. I'm expected.
Go through the side entrance.
Marstallstrasse.
Also in her baggage:
Her mother's ulterior motive
that she find herself a man of
noble birth and substantial wealth.
Charlotte is regarded
as an obedient daughter
who only does and says
as she is told to do and say.
- Pyramus!
- That's Pyramus.
The lion with the
bloodstained veil in its mouth?
Frau von Stein, a bright star
at Duke Carl August's court,
has been much plagued
by the departure of her
famous poet friend to Italy a year ago.
Medea. She's killing her children.
Medea killing her children.
At first she's rather cool to her godchild.
Charlotte spends all winter
learning manners
with literary society,
music and feasts at the court.
many invitations, accepted most of them,
danced abundantly
and had many witty conversations.
But where and to
whom life is taking her:
She's less certain of this now
than on the day she arrived.
The tone of her letters changes.
Respect for courtly society turns to
mockery, reservedness to loneliness.
In spring 1788,
only a single Scottish captain remains,
who beleaguers her with his affections.
"Beloved, dearly missed Caroline,"
I must report to you the incident of
Frau von Werthausen's mistaken funeral.
Old Herr von Werthausen's young wife
was in good health at a party one evening,
when at noon next day, her spouse
was told of her sudden death.
The old man hurried home
and found his wife already in a coffin,
allegedly to ward off an epidemic.
He wept,
had her laid out in a closed coffin
But his sister had noticed
that a certain Marquis von Bernbach,
who'd got on so well with
Frau von Werthausen these past weeks,
had suddenly disappeared, just like
half the young woman's wardrobe.
When the couple's escape was
uncovered and the grave was opened,
they found, instead of her,
a life-sized doll.
Behind closed doors
this episode is considered admirable,
showing international flair.
On top of that it opens up
an unexpected wealth of ideas
of how to escape a tiresome marriage
in case of emergency.
"Tu comprends?"
Anyone there who knows the way?
Can anyone hear me?
I'm lost. Do you know
the way to the market square?
Certainly.
Go to the end of the block.
Turn left.
Take the dark alley
leading to the old church yard...
How can that be?
I came this way.
And now I'm here.
No, over there.
- Where?
- Over there.
No, next to it. There.
Can women read maps then?
Doesn't it take the strategic grasp
and creative will of a man?
Like those needed to wage war?
That's right.
You're mistaken, we're not here.
You're mistaken too,
or you wouldn't be lost.
True. I'll yield and give it a try.
If you're wrong,
I'll hold you responsible.
If you find the way back.
Milady requests Miss Goddaughter's
presence in the salon urgently.
Even though we'll spend the season
next door to a madhouse
