Line 30:
The widowed Vera Holgk arrived in Germany from [[Riga]] in 1917 and raised her two daughters alone. Working as a successful [[sculptor]] she has provided for them, directing her whole energies towards their wellbeing. Now both are grown up, one a [[cellist]] and the other employed in a [[photographic studio]], and contemplating marriage. Vera has more free time and after encountering the charming, younger fellow sculptor Professor Steinkampp, she is persuaded to enter a major competition. Over time their relationship develops into a romance. Her daughters are at first disbelieving and not suspicious about the secret affair.
Vera wins the first prize, but an embittered former lover of Steinkampp maliciously breaks the news of their affair to a newspaper [[gossip columnist]]; a major scandal breaks out along with several false claims. This threatens the respectable marriage her eldest daughter hopes to have.
