Plot

21-year-old Oliver Mansfeld, the son of a corrupt industrialist, is attending a boarding school in order to obtain a school leaving degree, which he failed to do in his younger years. He falls head over heels in love with Verena Angenfort, ten years his senior. However, she is married to a much older banker who does business with Oliver's father. Verena and Oliver begin a turbulent but short-lived affair. Mansfeld does not see through the web of intrigues and entanglements around him in time and finally commits suicide.
