Plot
It
is a revue film, loosely based on the stage work Karl III. and Anna von
Österreich by Manfried Rössner. Karl Zimmermann, a composer whose idols are
Johann Sebastian Bach and classical composers, dreams of being successful with
his own opera and composes popular music for fun, but does not try to
distribute it for reasons of honor. His wife, Anni Pichler is a popular singer
and secretly sells his popular songs so that they can make a living. When he
finally completes his opera and it is rejected by the public, he realizes that
his true talent is composing popular music and not dishonorable.
