Abstract: A young mother and her son make ends meet by shepherding the village sheep. When the young boy is bitten by a snake, the local count rushes the boy to the town doctor. An impossible relationship soon develops between the young shepherdess and the handsome count. Shot on location, this well photographed drama is an interesting portrait of rural life in Northern Germany in the thirties.
