Husband is cheating on wife with a dark sexy woman from the city and everyone in their town knows about it
Wife is a fresh and innocent country girl and is really sad but can't do anything
Woman from city is all like "Hey come live with me in the city!"
Husband: "what about my wife"
Woman from city: "lol allg just drown her"
Husband is like "wtf" at first and gets mad but then the woman kisses him so he's all like "k"
SO the husband takes his wife out onto the lake and is about to push her out of the boat but then suddenly can't go through with it and rows frantically back to shore.
Upon reaching it, the wife jumps out of the boat and gets the fuck away from him.
He chases after her and is all like "wait! Don't be afraid of me!"
WTF MAN YOU CHEATED ON HER AND JUST TRIED TO KILL HER.
They take a tram thing into the city and she ignores him while he pleads with her. anyway, they get to the city and he stops her from being run over. they walk past a church, people are getting married, the husband SUDDENLY FEELS BAD AND WANTS TO REPENT.
so he starts crying and begs her forgiveness.
AND THEN SHE FORGIVES HIM and they go take a nice couple photo, they go to a carnival thing and just generally have fun.
WTF MAN HE JUST TRIED TO KILL YOU EARLIER THAT DAY AND YOU FORGIVE HIM JUST LIKE THAT
let me say that again. HE TRIED TO KILL YOU.
wtf.
there's more to the film but i cbf.
yea, yea I know this film is all about traditional values, the corrupt nature of city life, rediscovering pure and simple love
and yes, the film style is very German impressionist blah blah
Murnau is an amazing director blah blah shadows, lighting blah blah
BUT SERIOUSLY.
WHAT KIND OF STUPID PLOT IS THAT.

Rofl I've learnt to not care about so much about plot when doing film analysis
