During the French Revolution, in the village of Travers ensconced in neutral Switzerland, Prussian aesthete Herman Beyer is on the verge of divorcing wife Corinna Harfouch.
During the French Revolution, in the village of Travers ensconced in neutral Switzerland, Prussian aesthete Herman Beyer is on the verge of divorcing wife Corinna Harfouch.
Radical writer Uwe Kokisch, Corinna's lover, hopes to find a way of smoothing out animosities. What follows, however, is a nonstop drinking binge.
The film subliminally addresses the then-prevalent issue of a divided Germany. Whether or not it succeeds is unimportant; Treffen in Travers (Reunion in Travers) has proven to be a crowd pleaser wherever it has been shown.
