Plot[edit]
21-year-old Oliver Mansfeld is the son of an industrialist. Belatedly, he tries to complete his abitur in a boarding school. He falls head over heels in love with Verena Angenfort, ten years his senior. However, she is married to a much older banker who does business with Oliver's father.
