action
Psychiatrist Bloch mourns in the Netherlands for his wife, who has committed suicide. He calls his daughter Leonie to let her know that he will be back the next day. Back in Germany, his daughter tells him that she has had a new boyfriend for two months. She is so serious about medical student Henny that she wants to get married in a few days. Bloch is against the wedding: He fears the loss of his daughter and believes that the marriage will take place in a hurry.
Henny loves Leonie very much, but since Bloch's presence there has also been another side to him. He reacts jealously and uncontrollably when Leonie seems to prefer her father to him or has amused himself with him at his expense. Henny compensates for the resulting self-doubt with aggression that he directs against himself. He injures himself more and more often. While Leonie ignores Henny's behavior or mitigates it with offers of help, Bloch suspects that Henny is a psychiatric case, which in turn turns Leonie against him. After an argument with her, Bloch leaves Leonie's apartment, but collapses in the stairwell with a lumbago . He now has to stay in bed and is being looked after by Henny. Bloch tries to question Henny and learns that he has been married before, but that his wife Silke left him after three days. The reason given by Henny is that she was mentally disturbed, so she is a patient in the psychiatry where Henny claims to work. Bloch digs further and shows his astonishment that none of Henny's family will appear for the wedding. It turns out that Henny's parents are dead. When Bloch tries to find out the cause of death, Henny pushes him into a tub of hot water.
Bloch goes to psychiatry and asks Silke about Henny. He records her testimony on tape. She reports that Henny always suffered from fear of rejection. He claimed her love, but rejected it when he received it. In the end he cut her face with a knife; Silke shows Bloch her long scar. Bloch again learns from the head of psychiatry that Henny is not an employee but a patient of the clinic. Bloch plays the questioning tape to Leonie on her hen party , but Leonie's anger is directed against her father. She's only angry with Henny for hiding things from her. She goes to a friend's house two days before their wedding. Henny, in turn, becomes suspicious of Bloch, but soon realizes that he actually belongs in therapy. After trying to take his own life, Bloch agrees to treat him.
Bloch learns from Henny the reasons for his fear of abandonment, which lie in his childhood. Henny, in turn, accidentally discovers the cassette player and now knows that Bloch has betrayed him. He drives him to a lake, where both of them row in a boat to the middle of the lake. Here Henny Bloch pushes out of the boat and also knocks him out with an oar. He thinks Bloch is dead. Back at the apartment, he throws away his things and tells Leonie that Bloch has left for the Netherlands. On the day before the wedding, Bloch's lover Clara and her son also arrived at Leonie's. Suddenly Bloch is standing in front of the door, who did not go under because of his corpulence and was able to save himself on the bank. He doesn't mention the incident at all. On the wedding day he demonstratively gives Henny all of his fatherly love, knowing full well that Henny cannot handle it. On the drive to the registry office, Henny can't stand Bloch's affection anymore, tells Leonie that he hit her father on the lake, and finally pulls the handbrake to bring the car to a stop. The car had an accident. Leonie is flabbergasted and the wedding is canceled. Henny is admitted to a psychiatric ward. Leonie takes Clara, her son and Bloch to the train station. She'll give Henny a greeting from them when she sees him.
