Torgus

The film follows John, who is torn between his affection for Anna, a servant girl with whom he is expecting a child, and the expectations of his aunt, who wishes him to marry a wealthy woman. In a bid to keep them apart, his aunt sends him away to university and confines Anna with Torgus, a coffin maker who grows fond of her. This narrative explores the emotional landscape of love against societal constraints, typical of German Expressionism.

Torgus features a cast including Ferdinand Gregori, Eugen Klöpfer, Marija Leiko, and others, each contributing to the film's exploration of its central themes. The characters navigate a world of class disparity and personal sacrifice, which are hallmarks of the genre. The film's artistic style and storytelling are characteristic of the era, making it an interesting piece for collectors of early 20th-century cinema and German Expressionism.
