Berlin during the Depression, the tragedy of poverty. The meeting of Lissi Arna and Walter Rilla comes about during a memorable sequence centered on food. She is eating – he is drinking -Lissi’s landlady is eating as well. Her heart is empty. The future of the three is leaden like the sky over Berlin during the days of winter. Coldness. No real contact. She wants him but drunk as he is, he plops on the couch. It will be the landlady to undress him as if he were a mannequin. At this point begins a game apparently no longer disturbed by love…

Eve in Seide is a fairy tale full of life, cold yet warm. Its backdrop consists of Berlin, Paris, the Bois de Boulogne, the Costa Azzurra, havens of Europe’s rich and carefree between the two wars. The masks that we have learned to love through the perfect images fixed by Lartigue come alive on the screen and move alongside a charming Lissi Arna, capable of undergoing a dazzling change during the three thousand meters of the story. A forgotten jewel found by the heirs of Langlois.
