Contents
The action was an idealized, somewhat naive approximation to the health and beauty in conformity with nature. The film offered a contrast to the rather hopeless living in the city of Berlin and other large cities of Germany during the twenties and became an immediate success quite from the beginning. Finally it became the most popular and most important German kulturfilm of this period.
The film is best known as the first film to feature Leni Riefenstahl.
The film can be described as an essay on the virtues of living a life in unison and conformity with nature. Divided into six parts, the film sets out with a portrait of modern German society as a hedonistic sty, before moving on to investigations of the various ways of leading an idyllic, healthy life.
