What happens

Alraune is a German science fiction horror film directed by Richard Oswald. Like the 1928 version, this movie again features Brigitte Helm in the role of Alraune. This version aimed for greater realism but is still based upon the original German myth. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Otto Erdmann, Franz Schroedter and Hans Sohnle. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
