Spring Storms in Autumn of Life is a German silent film melodrama from 1918 by and with Fern Andra .
action
After the death of her father, the young Comtesse von Hagen is taken in by his childhood friend Joseph Königswart. The baron lives under one roof with his cousin and her son. Soon she turned the heads of the two men. She rejects young Reinhold's advances, while Baron Joseph, because of his advanced age, does not dare to confess his feelings for her to her. And that although the Comtesse reciprocated these feelings.
Reinhold's mother is becoming increasingly jealous because she is the only woman in the house to date that she no longer plays first violin. Therefore, she accuses the young woman of theft. Deeply shaken by this monstrous accusation, the countess sees only one way out that is appropriate and appropriate for her as a noblewoman: she wants to shoot herself - appropriately in the hotel's own hunting pavilion. But the young lady does not aim precisely and only wounds herself. Joseph rushes to her, declares himself and becomes engaged to the Comtesse.
