Synopsis

Engineer Andreas Mahler heads to Mexico for a job. His sweetheart Ebba promises her his eternal love. However, her father wants Ebba to marry Hannes a prosperous farmer's sons. He burns all letters from Andreas to Ebba, leading her to think that he has forgotten her. She agrees to the marriage proposal of Hannes and has a son with him. Years later Andreas returns to the area to work on a bridge across the Weser. Ebba runs into him and both realise that their letters had been intercepted. Ebba leaves her husband and son and goes away with Andreas. However, she soon comes to miss her son and decides that her place is with him and not her lover.
