A love that cannot be. Two worlds that do not belong together. A shared destiny: the desire for freedom ...

Something has to change. There must be an escape! Alice, the daughter of impoverished showmen, works at the amusement market Hamburger Dom. She hoped that marriage would be her way out of a life in poverty, but Janko keeps her hard-earned money for himself, and his unpredictable temper makes him difficult to predict. When Alice realizes that she can hardly protect her daughter Rosa anymore, she dares to do the unthinkable. She wants to free herself from her marriage. But how can she do that as a woman without money and status?

John comes from a proud bourgeois family, their wealth stemming from decades of trading skills. As a lawyer, John not only represents the family's affairs but also advises the common people of Hamburg. However, the request of this young woman seems hopeless: she wants to separate from her husband. With few words, he rejects her, but she stubbornly reappears in front of his office ...
