action
Ernestine Stengel works as a housekeeper in a small North German hotel that guests especially like to visit on weekends. She is still single and, in terms of age, no longer entirely “fresh as a dew”, or as the saying goes, a “late girl”. At least that's what the permanent guest Dr. Hans Ahlgrimm, a writer who was inspired by Ernestine's existence for his novel of the same name. In her existence as the good soul of the house, Ernestine forgot or missed her own life and thus also her love happiness. Ahlgrimm, who she likes, reflects all of her dreams; in Ernestine's eyes he is a dazzling figure who, unlike her, presumably knows life and the “big, wide world” out there.
One day Ernestine also finds her little luck, and that of a monetary nature: She wins the pool game. Since she is very fond of the writer, Ernestine would like to use part of her Toto winnings so that Ahlgrimm can publish his novel. But she is quite disappointed with the content, because she doesn't see herself really hit. Disappointed, she leaves the place and the hotel and goes to the “big city”. Here she wants to open a small café of her own with her remaining profit. But her partner turns out to be a crook and cheats on Ernestine, so that she finally returns ruefully to the hotel. Her dream writer is already waiting for her here, who will eventually lead her to the altar. From now on, as Ernestine Ahlgrimm, she is no longer a “late girl”.

criticism
The lexicon of international films gave a succinct verdict: "Tough comedy from the northern German-speaking area."
