Young Eva, daughter of the wealthy factory owner Roche, has fallen in love with the writer Ferdinand Paul. Nevertheless, one day she decides to marry the respected sculptor Franz Wandelt. However, he loves nothing in his life more than his art and soon neglects his newly wedded wife.
The misfortune soon struck almost everyone involved: Eva had two children, a son and a daughter, and died soon afterwards. In the face of the talented Franz, the son is so desperate about his own lack of talent that he voluntarily retires.
