action

In the early post-war period in the rural, Bavarian border area on Lake Constance . Christa von Söldern has been running the family property there since her father's death and has converted it into an efficient, yet cozy hotel that she runs herself. One day the doctor returns to Dr. Stefan Schneider from captivity to his elderly parents at Lake Constance. Christa helps Stefan get a practice on site, and they both soon fall in love.

This relationship soon results in a son named Peter. The marriage between the mistress of the Sölderhof and the successful doctor who enjoys his work went well for many years. But soon clouds of marital happiness move, because Stefan's strenuous and time-consuming job, which is completely absorbed in his work, threatens to put a heavy strain on their love. Eventually they split up, but after all sorts of other incidents, it is little Peter who brings his parents back together.

criticism

In Filmdienst states: "A naive and sentimental marriage drama that claims to be wrongly called returnees fate. Charged with the pseudo-problems of a post-war marriage, which are not based on the reality of the time, but on the greatest possible stirring effects in the cinema of that time. "
