Synopsis

Peter Erdmann falls in love with Brigitte after buying a record from her in the music shop where she works. They swiftly marry and go on honeymoon to Italy, but before long they discover more about each other and feel increasingly incompatible as a couple. As their money runs out things come to a head, and they separate. However, they continue using the same apartment due to their financial situation. Both spend time with other people, with the attractive Marianne falling for Peter. However, when Peter's mother comes to stay, they act the part of the happy couple for her. Gradually they fall in love with each other again, ending all thoughts of divorce.
