Synopsis

In the chaos after the Second World War, millions are missing. Urusla, a German mother seeking her child who she lost while fleeing from the expulsion of Germans, puts in a request. Because her fiancée died fighting on the Eastern Front she remarries again to a doctor. Several years later she sees a picture in a paper she realises it is her own lost daughter. However, her husband, fears that the child's illegitimacy will ruin his job prospects. In addition it turns out that Urusula's fiancée is not dead, but has been held as a Soviet prisoner of war. Troubles over the legal case over the girl are ultimately settled, when he falls in love with the sister of Urusua's husband.
