故事发生在1874年，冯（伯格哈特•克莱斯纳 Burghart Klaußner 饰）是一名学校的校长，野心勃勃的他一心想要在学校里进行一番天翻地覆的改革，于是他决定引进英语课，这让这所学校成为了德国第一所拥有英语课程的学校。就这样，英语老师科赫（丹尼尔•布鲁赫 Daniel Brühl 饰）来到了学校任教。从一开始起，科赫的教学计划就面临着重重的阻碍，无论是学生还是家长，他们都对英国充满了偏见。最终，科赫决定通过足球这项运动来帮助学生们更加了解英国，虽然他的计划收获了颇丰的成果，但同时也惹恼了一些利益相关者。有一些位高权重的人，他们开始想要科赫离开这所学校。

German television series

Axel Ranisch is one of the more idiosyncratic figures of Germany's moving image world. He jumps back and forth between educational television (masses of episodes for the wildly beloved series Löwenzahn) and unusual cinema projects like his free-floating, improv-driven film school thesis debut Dicke Mädchen (2011) or the perplexingly camp-happy children's adventure Reuber (2013). Then followed a jump into crime entertainment with episodes for the back home cultishly revered cop show Tatort, thrown into the mix for good measure. And, as if this wasn't off the charts enough, he also regularly directs opera productions for some of Germany's most prestigious houses.
Orphea in Love, now, fuses many of these diverse forays for a singular piece of musical theatre cinema. Structurally a musical or operetta, it features famous opera tunes paired with modern classical ballet choreographies. Befittingly, the title might insinuate a version of Jacques Offenbach's 1858 Orphée aux enfers (we have that somewhere else in the programme, though!), but the story of young, multi-job hassled Nele, her dream of opera stardom, and her love for dancer Kolya feels in its razzmatazzy mix of realism and kitsch simultaneously closer to Flashdance (1983; Adrian Lyne) and the average Lady Gaga music video. Wow. WOW!
