For more than ten years, the Viennese children's book dealer Felice Frank has not heard from Alexander Helsing, the father of her little daughter Lilli. All the more surprised is the young woman, when she suddenly learns of the death of Alexander. But not only that: at the opening of the will in Hamburg, it turns out that the deceased bequeathed all his company shares in the family large shipping company to his daughter Lilli - and to the age of majority of the child Felice should manage these shares. However, the dead man's conservative family does everything in his power to disgust the unpleasant business partner.

Riviera italiana, finales del año 1942. Un grupo de soldados alemanes goza de unos días de descanso antes de acudir al frente ruso para combatir en Stalingrado. El conflicto será tan sangriento que minará sus fuerzas y su moral. Una de las producciones más costosas del cine alemán de los últimos años, realizada con motivo del 50º aniversario de la conocida batalla. Su director, Joseph Vilsmaier ("Leche de otoño"), realiza un análisis psicológico de los cuatro soldados protagonistas. Todo sirve a Vilsmaier para denunciar la crueldad de la guerra. A destacar también las escenas de batalla, sin duda las más crudas de la historia del género hasta que llegó "Salvar al soldado Ryan".
