Lieberwachen (Love's Awakening) catalogs the trials and tribulations of impressionable young Hanni (Karin Hardt). A veterinarian's daughter, Hanni falls in love for the first time when violin virtuoso Robert Lund (Walter Rilla) comes to town. Against her father's wishes, she elopes with Lund and runs off to the Big City. It isn't long before disillusionment sets in, as Hanni realizes that the life of a celebrity spouse isn't all it's cracked up to be. Unable to cope with her husband's professional demands and his lack of attention to her, poor Hanni decides to take the "easy way out," bringing this emotional object lesson to a tragic conclusion.
