What happens

The Saint and Her Fool (German: Die Heilige und ihr Narr) is a 1935 German drama film directed by Hans Deppe and Paul May and starring Friedrich Ulmer, Lola Chlud and Hansi Knoteck. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Artur Günther and Hans Kuhnert. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin and on location around Langenburg Castle and Oberstdorf in Bavaria. Along with a 1928 German silent film and a 1957 Austrian film, it was one of three film adaptations of the novel of the same title by Agnes Günther. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
