Nodoby can stand him. Whenever he walks through the hallways of the district court, doors are slammed shut. Dr. Martin Rogalla (Fritz Wepper), preosecuting attorney in Potsdam, is "the smiling guillotine". Self-righteous, cunning, and obtrusive, but also with an implacable air of competency. Rogalla is a bachelor by conviction, with an abhorrence of children. Sexual intercourse may only occur during pre-determined appointments. His girlfriend Dorothea (Katharina Schubert) has come to terms with it - until now…
All of a sudden, Miriam (Olga von Luckwald) crashes into this life of Prussian order: 16 years old, pretty, perky, yet still vulnerable. A girl on the threshold to becoming a woman... She recognizes her father in Martin Rogalla. As proof, she shoves a photograph in the attorney's face, taken 16 years ago together with Miriam's mother. Miriam, a child of love. A child whom Martin Rogalla had no idea about for 16 years.
Miriam's mother has recently passed away. Grundingly and with gritted teeth, Rogalla admits his responsibility. During summer break, Miriam moves in with him - an unmitigated disaster for Rogalla …
