Storyline

Theodor Storm's novella, now dramatized, deals with envy and hard-heartedness, but also with loyal friendship and affection. Generations love the story of Paul and Lisei, of the puppeteer Tendler and Kröpen-Lieschen. But above all, they love the actual “heroes”: the beautiful Genoveva, the evil Golo, and the funny Kasper.
