action
During the Second World War , two girls were born in the same house: the wealthy Werner Ortmann becomes the father of Carola. In the basement apartment, Anna Reck gives birth to her second child, little Eva, shortly after her husband was called up to the front. Three years later, the girls celebrate their birthday together with the Ortmanns and the family learns that Father Reck has died at the front. Another five years later there is peace. Widow Anna Reck and her two children Eva and Ludwig fled with the Ortmanns to the village, where they stayed until the end of the war. The daughters are best friends, so Marthe Ortmann offers Anna the opportunity to move to Berlin with her family like her.
Years go by and Eva and Carola have become two teenagers, while Carola's mother has passed away in the meantime. Eva and Carola spend their holidays in the Dennerheide country school home, where Carola is trying to overcome her first lovesickness. Young Horst broke up with her and takes an opportunity to harass Eva. She defends herself and in the end is publicly accused by Horst of flirting. Because Carola doesn't believe her protests of innocence, Eva packs her things. Because of her supposed behavior, Eva is also expelled from school and is too proud to return when her innocence is revealed. She starts working as a shorthand typist in Berlin , but is not promoted when she refuses her boss a weekend together. After a reconciliation with Carola, both young women celebrate their 19th birthday together. Not only Werner Ortmann is impressed by the young, beautiful Eva, but also numerous birthday guests, whom Eva keeps at a distance. She meets the millionaire Alfred Schott, who does not introduce himself, but is charming. Carola confesses to Eva that she has a secret lover in the astronomer Robert, whom she cannot marry because he is still studying. She also offers Eva to move into her villa and live in the guest room during a planned one-year training course as an interpreter . Eva gladly accepts the offer.
On the day she moved in, Eva met Werner's new friend and fiancée, Isa Sensbach. She soon suspects Eva to be a competitor, as Werner spends more and more time with Eva. Both are familiar from their time together and use terms on their terms. Eva soon believes that Werner loves her and is already making plans for a wedding. Isa leaves for Florence jealous . Eva is all the more disappointed when one day Werner presents her with a fully furnished apartment that she can move into and where they can both secretly meet in the future. Eva leaves Werner because she doesn't want to be his lover. In the evening she gets very drunk in a bar and is seen by chance by Alfred Schott, who brings her home. He looks after her and slaps her when she cynically offers herself to him for money. The next day they both apologize to the other.
Werner and Carola travel to relatives because of an illness. At the same time a card arrives from Robert announcing his arrival. Eva picks him up from the train station and they both spend the day together. In the end they kiss and Robert wants to leave Carola for Eva. Eva realizes that she cannot relax her boyfriend to Carola and lies to Robert that she has a wealthy admirer who even bought her an apartment. Then Alfred Schott sends her to one of his companies in Canada because she wants to get out of Berlin. Some time later Werner Ortmann and Isa Sensbach got married; Carola and Robert are engaged. At a celebration, Alfred Schott announces himself with his bride, whom he married in Canada: It is Eva. However, at first she did not want to marry him despite his money and so he had to make three proposals to her before she agreed. Eva confesses to Robert, who now knows that she lied to him, that she is happy.

criticism
The film-dienst certified that the film was a "naive-romantic act", which however "was put into the picture completely seriously like a chronicle of time (war, expulsion, economic miracle)". Since the film is stylistically structured like a contemporary document, it stylizes “Eva's 'career' as the desired goal of the entire (women) generation of that time," wrote Cinema . "[O] without distance or even irony" a "young girl's dream" is shown in the film, Der Spiegel found on the occasion of a television screening of the film in July 1998.
Awards
In 1961 Karin Baal won a Bambi for Best Young Actress.
