Munich, World War II: The young Kati Zeiler runs a small barbershop. Her husband Felix is fighting on the Eastern Front. So Kati draws her daughter Marie alone. A bomb attack destroys the shop and the apartment.
The three friends Pat, Nicoletta and Sissy are in their 30s and actually lead very decent lives. But that alone does not satisfy them: Like cats of prey, they are on the hunt for happiness, which they seek in relationships with the opposite sex.
With the death of her mother, eight-year-old Anna ends her childhood: From now on, she has to look after the nine-member family. Deprivation-rich years, which also find no end when Anna marries: Her husband Albert must be a soldier in the Second World War, and the pregnant Anna has to work hard in the farm and care sick relatives. Lonely and exposed to the harassment of the tyrannical mother-in-law, she waits for Albert, with no certainty that he will ever return.
