Plot
West Germany, in the early 1960s: Hans Willke is the industrial manager of the Terstappen works with 6,000 employees. His life, characterized by duty and responsibility, has been geared almost entirely to his job and he neglects his wife. After the death of her twins, she withdrew completely into herself. Willke has the feeling that he is missing out on something in real life. He spontaneously decides to go to Salzburg to see his old friend, the actor Bernhard von Wangen. He is rehearsing the stage play "Jedermann" in Salzburg. In the evening he meets the young Manuela in a cellar bar. Willke falls in love with the young woman and wants to enjoy life again. Suddenly, Willke's existence seems pointless, the sacrifice for his job a waste. As he plunges headlong into his new life, his body rebels. His heart stops, momentarily plunging him in a turbulent stream of consciousness and forcing him to face his anxieties and doubts. In the end, he suffers a fatal heart attack.
