action
Three couples who have been married for almost seven years - that is Mette and her husband Per, Otto and his wife Inge, and Hedwig with her husband Georg - all meet again on their seventh wedding anniversary. They all got married on the same day and thus all celebrate their “copper wedding”. Time to take stock. In some (well-established) relationships it is already beginning to run into crisis, and so the loving and life-wise letter from your old, now deceased teacher gives reason to reflect on their previous lives and the marriages that have not always been particularly wise. New partner constellations are considered and implemented and attempts are made to escape the daily routine and marriage and to rediscover the value of their old love. At the end of the story, everything comes together for the best and the previous pairings stay together, upon which their marriages can be continued and redesigned with new esprit.

Reviews
In Der Spiegel 28/1948 one could read: “It is not a film that is burdened with problems. You will not see ruins, nor any human or moral consequences of the bombing war. The people of the "copper wedding" live in an environment of permanent wealthy bourgeoisie. "
"Cheerful and soulful marriage lesson."
