action
The film deals with the fate of the refugees in a village in the Mark Brandenburg in Westprignitz. One of the refugees is Mrs. Jeruscheit , portrayed by Ursula Voss , whose husband is missing as a result of the war, who lost one of her children while fleeing and was buried on the roadside. The refugees who received the land of the so-called Junkers who fled from there are gradually developing into a solidarity village community.
The result is the mutual farmer assistance . An old farmer finds it difficult to come to terms with the new circumstances. Finally, Mrs. Jeruscheit's husband, who was believed to be lost, reappears. The factory workers in the cities show solidarity and manufacture the devices that are needed by the rural population.
