In a town in the Wachau in Lower Austria , in the early 1980s, rural youth also felt an increasingly free attitude towards life. For example, gender roles are changing, but so is the world of work. One day the closure of the local factory, where many villagers work, is announced. The lifestyles and structures of people, which were previously assumed to be secure, are shaken, the future is uncertain.

Anna is a student who commutes between her place of study and her hometown to help out in her uncle Schorsch's newly opened inn. After some solicitation by the lady hunter Kurt, she got into a non-binding relationship with him. After she learns that Kurt is also meeting Elisabeth, who is also commuting, and wants to marry her, Anna is shocked and realizes that Kurt is not quite as indifferent to her as she originally assumed. Finally a terrible accident happens on the Danube .
