What happens

Love's Carnival (German: Rosenmontag) is a 1930 German drama film directed by Hans Steinhoff and starring Lien Deyers, Mathias Wieman, and Eduard von Winterstein. The film is base upon the play by Otto Erich Hartleben. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Herlth. The film was said to exemplify Steinhof's ideology, "a craftsmanlike director with a preference for entertainment films sure to draw an audience, but also for nationalistic, conservative subjects" and even to "glorif[y] aggressive nationalism".
