Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Horst, the 18-year-old son of a factory owner, and 17-year-old Karin dream up their future together in the most beautiful colors. Newly married, however, they don't float on cloud nine as they had hoped, but sink into the dreary everyday life of marriage. While Horst ends his school career prematurely, Karin seeks help from her father-in-law.
