Synopsis
Doctor Engel is a kindly paediatrician who takes an interest in the single mother Maria who works as a violinist in the café he frequently visits. When her son Hans falls unwell Engel helps her care for him, but the owner of the café Oskar Dillmann fires her out of jealousy. Despite his growing love for Maria, Engel is unable to confess his love for her.
