Берлин 1878 года: Коринна Шмидт, выросшая в мелкобуржуазной академической семье, романтически интересуется Леопольдом Трейбелем, сыном знатной торговой советницы Дженни Трейбель, хотя Коринна также влюблена и в своего кузена Марселя. Леопольд тоже влюбляется в милую Коринну, а Дженни Трейбель всеми силами пытается помешать их взаимности, но меняет своё мнение, когда их тайная помолвка становится достоянием общественности. Чтобы избежать скандала, она призывает их поскорее пожениться. Но вскоре Коринна выходит из этой сложной ситуации и снова обращает свой взор на кузена Марселя, которого выслали из страны за его социал-демократические убеждения.
Музыкальный фильм, основанный на биографических фактах о любви Клары Вик к композитору Роберту Шуману (1810-1856), о браке, заключённом против её воли, триумфе Шумана и трагическом конце из-за психического расстройства. Фильм красив и развлекателен, полон благородного духа и красивых слов об искусстве и любви, которые вступают в конфликт только в теоретическом контексте; не в последнюю очередь благодаря солидным актерам, эта кинолента довольно серьёзна и далека от китча. Завершенный в 1944 году, во время Второй мировой войны, фильм был отклонён нацистским руководством, но затем всё же был выпущен и пользовался успехом у публики, уже порядком уставшей от войны.

In the very oldfashioned town of Ostend suddenly 13 suitcases are delivered to the hotel, with a note, that O.F. will be here soon and needs 6 rooms (the hotel just has five). This event, probably the biggest in 300 years, starts a small wave of modernisation, yet everybody is wondering who O.F. is. Journalist Stix and architect Stark have an idea how to use this event. They proclaim, that O.F. is a former citizen of the town, who became a millionaire abroad. They tell their fellow citizens that the town still needs modernisation, like better hotels, nightclubs, shops, etc. And soon, Ostend is a boomtown, then a capital. The architect, responsible for the new buildings is finaly allowed to marry the mayor's daughter, while Stix marries the cabaret star and the widowed mayor his new secretary. The only problem is, O.F. hasn't shown up, while finance experts from all over the world are trying to solve the depression problem.
