Film synopsis: A poetic, modern fairy-tale about the desire for personal fulfilment: Following their father′s death, 18-year-old Helene and her little sister have to adjust to the radically changed situation. The authorities sign Helene up for different jobs, but she constantly fails their demands. Only when Helene finally learns how to express her dreams, she is able to free herself from the paternalism of others.

Production of the film was stopped in 1966. In 2005, the existing material was assembled in chronology.
