The story unfolds in Hamburg, exploring the lives of various characters through their everyday experiences, emotions, and interactions against a backdrop of societal norms and personal aspirations.

At the start of the novel, we are presented with a vivid scene set on a March evening following a frost night in Hamburg. A tragic incident involving a fallen horse on the cobbled street draws a crowd, setting the stage for a medley of human emotions, from curiosity to indifference to schadenfreude. Caroline Wittfoth, the shop owner, is depicted managing the struggles of her business while reflecting on her late husband's legacy and her current life. The narrative then delves into her relationships with her employees, including the timid and diligent Therese, and the lively Mimi, sketching a slice-of-life portrait of their daily challenges, hopes for romance, and the societal pressures they face in a changing world.
