Description
Summer, somewhere on the river Spree. Willy and Hendrik, the owner and sole crewman on a river towing barge have tied up for the night. They see a pretty girl leaning far over the parapet of a bridge, apparently intending to throw herself into the water. Suddenly a banknote floats down onto the river - the girl had merely wanted to get rid of a note associated with unpleasant memories. It is the beginning of a three-cornered tale set among the bargemen of the Havel and Spree rivers. The girl whom the two men have saved from committing suicide is persuaded to join them on the barge and sail to Berlin. Both naturally fall in love with her, placing their friendship under a severe strain.
