This offbeat German film is about as apolitical as you can get for a film made in Germany during the 1930s. It explores the interactions between working-class people enjoying a Sunday afternoon relaxing before starting the taxing work week again. An interesting piece of the German social process of the early 30s. The film highlights how pleasant life could be on a weekend before Germany became over-politicized and militaristic. It is really a great piece to hold in contrast to the later, propagandistic films that came out by the hundreds later in Germany's cinematic history.
