Maria, in her mid-twenties, lives in Munich’s Haidhausen district with her widowed father, a small-time vegetable seller. Her friend Bärbel is lovesick over Pietro, a handsome Italian whose father deals wholesale vegetables at Munich’s wholesale market. Though other girls are interested in Pietro, Maria initially can’t stand him.
