Ballet teacher Henriette Sachs lives alone in her huge apartment in an old building in Wiesbaden. On the bus, she notices a young man who cannot speak and invites him to her home. After he spends the night in the guest room, she secretly follows him to Frankfurt, where he meets a girlfriend named Minou in the red-light district. When he turns up at her apartment again, she offers to have sex with him. When he turns away, she knocks him unconscious with a large book. In Frankfurt, Henriette manages to find Minou and offers her a large sum of money if she will show him that she loves him. But after a tirade of abuse, Minou gets out of the taxi.
