Ernst and Tillie

Based on a true story, Ernst and Tillie unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of the dawning of the twentieth century, a time that witnessed the wonders and oddities of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, as well as racial strife evident in towns big and small. There's lots of baseball, lots of train travel, lots of folks who either love or hate the new horseless carriages. And there's Ernst and Tillie, coming of age, weighing life's big decisions, struggling to free themselves from the religious and cultural strictures of there parents' generation, and eager to reap the promise of the new era.
