Luise's passion is literature - she wants to go down in history as a famous writer and ultimately escape the boredom and narrow-mindedness of aristocratic country life. Just as she was about to send the manuscript of her novel to a publisher, her father died, after which Luise's younger brother Veit returned to the country estate after a long absence and became her guardian. Meanwhile, Luise is dealing with her father's death by completing her manuscript and finally sending it to the publisher. In order to demonstrate his new power to his headstrong sister, Veit wants to force Luise to marry the simple-minded Count von Mogge and give up writing. While the Count is still proposing, Luise throws herself out of a window into the moat. After this incident, she is attacked by the young, handsome doctor Dr. Büchner treated. Does love come into play here?
