This is Helmut Käutner’s most famous film. Particularly remarkable for its use of the new Agfacolor system and the film’s naturalistic and at times dreamlike depiction of Hamburg.
The four-mast boat, the Padua, sails into Hamburg’s harbor. Jens, Fiete and Karl go on land to visit their friend Hannes, one of the their former colleagues aboard the Padua. Hannes now works as a singer at the famous Hamburg Hippodrom. Just as the four friends are celebrating their reunion, Hannes receives a call that his brother is in the hostipal dying. Feeling a sense of obligation, Hannes takes over the responsibility for looking after his brother’s ex-girlfriend Gisa. Feeling an attraction to Hannes, she moves in with him, but Hannes only sees her as the girl his brother left behind.

Faced with his realization, Hannes has to make a decision…
