Synopsis

Andreas works as an assistant in his father’s small-town bakery. However, he actually has other plans: As a passionate trumpeter, he wants to study music in Berlin. His father is less than thrilled and wants his son to take over the bakery. Therefore, Andreas decides to try his luck in Berlin and starts working in a wholesale bakery together with his friend Paul. Incidentally, the in-house band is looking for a trumpeter. Andreas is a huge success and he soon gets promoted to the position of band director. On hearing this news, his father is enthused and finally allows Andreas to study music. Beforehand, however, Andreas and Paul have to deal with some love entanglements.
