Hans in Luck

Directed by Walter Röhrig and Robert Herlth

With Erwin Linder, Georgia Holl, Oskar Sima, Rudolf Platte and Käthe Haack

Brothers Grimm adaptation. The story follows Hans, who, after seven years of service, is rewarded with a large lump of gold. As he travels home, he trades the gold for a horse, the horse for a cow, then a pig, a goose, and finally a grindstone. Despite losing the immense value of his initial payment, Hans feels increasingly free and happy, ultimately dropping the heavy stone into a well and rejoicing in having no burdens.
