in casablanca humphrey bogart\u2019s character is in love with ingrid bergman\u2019s character, they get separated for a long time and in each other\u2019s absence ingrid falls in love with somebody else. they reconnect after a long while, and discover they both still have feelings for each other\u2014and humphrey is still madly in love with her\u2014though she is with another man. it\u2019s during world war ii so they\u2019re trying to leave casablanca and get to america so they can be free, especially because ingrid\u2019s new man is in deep shit and asbolutely has to escape, and humphrey does a bunch of illegal stuff for them and ultimately he sends the the love of his life and her new lover on the plane to fly off to freedom and be together\u2014he sacrifices his own love and freedom for hers<\/p>\n
