She tries her hand at a film production company, where she meets the film star Tina Bermonte and falls in love with the assistant director Andrej Klipman.

criticism
In Paimann's film lists you can read: “The subject has many lengths and loses a lot of its effect due to constant oscillation between drama and grotesque. The portrayal in all roles is very nice, as the direction worked flawlessly and created pretty pictures. The presentation is up to date, as is the photography. "
