About Verfolgte Wege
Post-war Germany in 1946 while people are struggling to make ends meet, the film follows Hermann, a war veteran who finds employment at a train station. As he falls in love with an agricultural worker and starts comitting thefts, his fragile psyche seems to fall more and more out of balance.
Directed by Uwe Janson, Verfolgte Wege leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Cieslinski, Barbara Auer, Helen De Lon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1989.
