action

Marianne Schäfer, who was just 17, lived in a studio apartment in Berlin with other young artists in the 1930s. Among them are the couple in love Josephine and Paul and Gohlke, the most talented of the young painters, Else, Fränze and Otto, all of whom are students in the painting class of art professor Brenner. It was not easy for Marianne's parents to let their daughter go, but they trust that they have given Marianne the necessary tools. Often Jochen is also present with them, manager of the estate on which Marianne grew up. The young man is reserved, almost a little shy and has not yet found the courage to confess to Marianne that he loves her dearly.

It is not hidden from friends that Marianne has been very serious and thoughtful for some time, in contrast to earlier, when she was available for every prank. Above all, Jochen attentively registers the change in Marianne's being. From vague hints that she makes to him, he concludes that Marianne has fallen in love. and thats the way it is. Marianne's admiration for the great ability of her teacher, Professor Brenner, has grown. Since it is Marianne's first great love, she climbs more and more into this enthusiastic admiration, which she believes is the great love of her life. Brenner, a married man, is flattered by the affection of his youngest student, for whom he already feels a special affection. Since Marianne is open and honest, she doesn't even think about keeping her love a secret. The situation comes to a head, so that Marianne takes the initiative and goes to Brenner's wife Lore and asks her to release her husband. However, Ms. Brenner does not even think about letting the younger competitor take over the field, she has already endured too much with her husband. Brenner himself feels torn, because on the one hand he feels connected to his wife, but on the other hand he does not want to renounce the enchanting Marianne. Knowing that he has to make a decision, he decides to come to terms with the solitude that he is looking for on a North Sea island. When Marianne shows up there, he sees it as an affront to his wife and reacts completely differently than Marianne had imagined.

But then Marianne receives a telegram in which Jochen informs her that he cannot and does not want to live without her. Without thinking that something like that doesn't really suit the level-headed friend, Marianne only wants one thing, quickly home and to Jochen. It suddenly became clear to her what she felt for him. Although a storm is raging right now, she breaks up in the middle of the night, and without allowing Brenner to stop her, and hurries to the landing stage. Brenner goes after her. Jochen comes towards them, however, because he was worried about Marianne and the fear of actually losing her drove him to the island. Exhausted from the excitement of the last few hours and with tears in her eyes, Marianne takes refuge in Jochen's arms. Brenner realizes that everything is right and that the two young people belong together and that his place is at the side of his wife. Ultimately, the studio community is proud and happy that the trick with the telegram had the desired effect.
