The film is set in a country house in Germany on that summer day in 1918 when Germany became a republic and the former emperor left the country. Cecilie, the daughter of parents loyal to the emperor but impoverished, is to be married to the rich Alfred. But on this day, a punk from the future appears, with whom Cecilie immediately falls in love. Communication is difficult, however, as the punk can speak but the other characters are mute and can only be understood through intertitles and exaggerated gestures.
