Synopsis Agnes, a seamstress in Berlin, sends a goodwill package to a soldier serving on the front lines in the Second World War, partly in the hope of finding a husband. However rather than sending her own picture with the parcel, she sends a glamorous image she cuts out of a magazine. When Werner Holt, who receives the package, gets six days of leave from the Wehrmacht he wants to meet up with Agnes. However, trapped in her deception she continues to offer more lies, jeopardising their chance of happiness.
