About

A young man recalls how he and his fiancée encountered a mysterious doctor and his somnambulist at a town fair.

In Robert Wiene's 1920 silent film, Francis (Friedrich Fehér) looks back on a recent ordeal that he and his fiancée Jane (Lil Dagover) endured. The story moves to Holstenwall, a town of twisted buildings and winding streets, where Francis and his friend Alan (Hans Heinrich von Twardowski) visit the town fair. There they enter the exhibit of Dr. Caligari (Werner Krauss), a mysterious doctor who presents Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a somnambulist, and wakes him from a death-like sleep. Caligari says that Cesare can answer any question put to him.
