This romantic drama was banned by the censors in Nazi Germany and saw its debut only after a decade had passed. Winnie Markus plays Christine, who together with her friend Anni, works as a saleswoman in a train station kiosk. And together, they hang onto their dreams of a fulfilled love. The reality, however, is quite different: Anni’s admirer Maximillian exists only in her fantasies and Christine’s mother wants to marry her off to the stuff accountant Rudolf Krummholz. One day, Christine --- a believer in fate --- discovers the man of her dreams in a transiting train: He’s the artist Albrecht Goetz and Christine ends up spending a passionate night with him. But Albrecht does not believe in predestination; so their common happiness does not appear to be long-lasting.
