Love, Life and Laughter

Until 2019, the breakthrough of the "British Mary Pickford" Betty Balfour and one of her most popular films were considered lost. In it, she captivates as London chorus girl Tip-Toes, who dreams of becoming a star - a longing that a lonely writer also harbours. The two make a pact: they want to meet again in two years' time and achieve their goals by then ... In her heyday, Balfour often embodied women who wanted to rise in society - the sound film ultimately marked a turning point in her own career. The ups and downs of both main characters show some parallels to the actual biographies and reflect a fascination for showbiz stories that continues to this day.
