The Blue Light (1932 film)
Das Blaue Licht (eng. The Blue Light) is a silent black and white 1932 film written and directed by Leni Riefenstahl and Béla Balázs.
Plot
A solitary young woman (played by Leni Riefenstahl), feared to be a witch, grows up estranged from the villagers, and prefers to play alone by herself, and is accordingly accustomed to climb the steep mountain peaks around her town.
Discovering a Magic Crystal
On one particular night of the year, as the full moon happened to shine blue light, a crack in a distant mountain admitted the beam and illuminated a magic crystal that glowed sympathetically. The woman sees the mysterious blue glow of the chamber in the mountain, and is attracted to it. After making her way to the cavern, she sees that deep within is a place of indescribable beauty, but nothing is more beautiful than the magic crystal bathed in the light of the moon. She picks it up and removes it as her own, a special treasure unique in the world.
Townspeople Crave after her Crystal
When the townspeople see her with the crystal, they want it for themselves but she won't give it to them, as she believes it was meant for her.
Breach of Trust
Pretending to be her friend, a man insinuates his way into her confidence, and - ultimately - violates her trust and betrays her, so stealing the crystal.
