Synopsis

Dorothea Wieck and Herta Thiele, the stars of the popular and controversial Maedchen in Uniform, were reunited in Frank Wisbar's Anna und Elisabeth. Anna (Thiele) is a peasant girl who suddenly finds she has the power to heal the sick. Soon her shabby rural cottage becomes a shrine for every crippled person in the county -- much to Anna's dismay, because she refuses to believe that she possesses any special gifts and wishes that people would leave her alone. She is eventually invited to live with Elisabeth (Wieck), a wealthy and reclusive invalid. Upon failing to save one of Elisabeth's friends from dying, Anna becomes more withdrawn than ever, refusing to perform any more "miracles" -- a decision that has a devastating effect on Elisabeth.
