Christine and Stefan love each other, with intense passion. They try to break free from all moral barriers in order to find absolute happiness. But their love is subject to a social taboo: Christine and Stefan are siblings who only met when they were twenty because of their divorced parents.
The film confronts class-conscious citizens with bohemian livelihoods. Christine lives in Barcelona with her father who emigrated from Germany. Everyone has adapted in his own way to the laws of society and its shady shimmering morality. The uptight perversities of an antiquated bourgeoisie are relentlessly shown, a society in which every well-to-do father of a family naturally keeps a lover or regularly visits a brothel. But Stefan and Christine live their great passion - against all conventions.
