action
A film is to be made in the first post-war period. The director, author and actor Willy Fritsch will discuss the form and topic. The film team actually wants to make a comedy, but can you do that so soon after the war? A book does not yet exist. One argues about the content of the film. Two friends of the author, the farmer's daughter Christine Fleming and the Berlin art dealer Martin Delius, visit the film team. After their visit, the author tells his two colleagues how they met [ this is shown as a flashback ].
- Martin, the art dealer, gives shelter to a business partner and her housemaid Christine after a bomb attack. From the first moment he feels affection for the woman from a humble background and during another nightly bombing raid the two get closer. Class prejudices in Martin's environment, however, give her love no chance, and so Christine leaves the house.
The film team discusses whether the story of the two would be suitable as a material for their film. The author continues.
- After the war, the situation is reversed: Martin comes from the front as a dispossessed person and looks for accommodation at Christine's father's farm. Now it is peasant pride that turns the neglected veteran away. This time it is Martin who leaves the village of his old love.
At this point, the filmmakers disagree on how to proceed: the director wants an accusatory, tragic ending, the actor a happy ending. Finally, the author asks Martin and Christine how it went next ...
- [... and that is also shown as a flashback .]
When the whole story is finally told and the suitability for the film has been discussed, the film of the film is over, of
