action
The action takes place in Berlin during the imperial era, around the turn of the century. The studios Hugo Großmann is a dreamer who lives right into the day and doesn't take his studies too seriously either. He arrives at the upcoming exam unprepared and fails as expected. That doesn't bother him too much either, and the only consequence he resolves to do is to minimize his cost of living and to look for a cheaper room. He receives this accommodation from the courteous Ms. Möhring, who runs a grocery store. The old lady has a daughter named Mathilde, and she is the exact opposite of Hugo: hardworking, committed and very ambitious. Although she likes the strolling student right away, she cannot share his lifestyle and his views, let alone approve of them. Because Hugo noticed Mathilde's disapproval and his friend Hans Ribbeck met Hugo's nonchalance with incomprehension, he claimed to her that he was an official at the land registry . The next day, however, the dizziness flies up. Mathilde then resolves to turn Hugo Großmann inside out and turn him into an ambitious and conscientious person. The altruistic Mathilde first goes through the exam material with Hugo in detail, so that this time he succeeds in the repetition of the exam, which she urges Hugo to take.
When Hugo fell ill with measles , it was again Mathilde Möhring who sacrificed herself for Hugo and nursed him back to health. She even temporarily closes her mother's colonial store, where she works full-time. Hugo, who has recovered, realizes how much devotion Mathilde shows and makes her a marriage proposal, which she accepts. This time Hugo also passed his exam, with which he was admitted to the traineeship, with flying colors. In marriage, the serious differences between the two are once again apparent: While Hugo shows himself to be impotent when planning his career, it is Mathilde who repeatedly drives him to strive for higher things. After all, with your energetic support, he applies for the post of mayor of the Woldenstein community - with success. The position awakens Hugo's spirits, and for the first time in his life he begins to get involved. One of the main goals of the new mayor is to provide the place with a rail link. He rejects Mathilde's interventions, now endowed with a new self-confidence. She is not unhappy about that, as she realizes that her limp husband has now become a “whole man”.
But Mathilde Möhring-Großmann's life soon suffers a serious setback. While heavily pregnant, her husband died in a serious accident - just after Hugo's inauguration of the railway had become his greatest triumph. Again Mathilde has to master a new situation all on her own. She returns to her mother, takes care of the grocery store and also raises her and Hugo's son. During this difficult time Hugo's best friend Hans proved to be a good friend to Mathilde and supported her as much as he could. In moments of greatest desperation, he is at her side with words and deeds and gets Mathilde to take a tutor's exam. Hans loves Mathilde, but she gives him no hope. And so he leaves the place disaffected and moves to another city. Years pass before the two see each other again. Hans now openly confesses his love to Mathilde, but again he has to accept a rejection: Mathilde loved Hugo so much that her heart is simply not free for anyone else.
