However, their love faces challenges as Christine is already engaged to a much older and wealthy man, Baron von Eggersdorf. Despite their circumstances, Fritz and Christine engage in a passionate affair, secretly meeting in a small inn known as the "Liebelei."
As their relationship unfolds, they must grapple with the expectations and conventions of society, honor codes, and the consequences of their actions. The film explores themes of forbidden love, societal constraints, and the clash between personal desires and social norms.
Max Ophüls' direction in "Liebelei" is notable for its elegant and visually appealing style. The film captures the atmosphere of Vienna's aristocratic society during the late 19th century, with its lavish costumes and settings.
