Women Who Shouldn't Get Married (1919)

The doctor Ada Haller pursues a successful career as a scientist, in which she comes more and more into conflict with her marriage and the role expected by society as a woman. An extremely progressive and conventional film at the same time, which takes up modern themes and shows parallels to the life of the leading actress: Esther Carena, real name Franziska Lucia Pfeiffer, studied medicine for a semester before she came to film through acrobatics and pantomime; after their marriage in 1924, she withdrew from an extremely successful silent film career into private life.
