Overview

The young marriage of the insurance agent Hannes and his wife Nora is being worn down by financial difficulties and overcrowded living conditions. Hannes is unable to sell enough policies and life becomes ever worse for the two.

She's expecting Hannes' child, too, but he is starting to turn further and further away from her.
