Description 
At the invitation of the Japanese Ministry of Education, the former "mountain filmer" Fanck directed this "cultural feature film" with Japanese actors in Japan, making this the first, German-Japanese co-production.  The young Japanese man Teruo gets caught up in a conflict between tradition and modernism, when he returns to Japan from Germany after having spent a number of years there studying.  Now, he is supposed to marry Mitsuko, the daughter of his adoptive father, to whom Teruo has long been promised.  But Teruo, who has gotten to know the freedoms of the western world, would rather marry the woman he loves and behaves brusquely to Mitsuko. 
 
Auf Einladung des japanischen Kultusministeriums drehte der einstige "Bergfilmer" Fanck diesen "Kultur-Spielfilm" mit japanischen Darstellern in Japan, die erste deutsch-japanische Co-Produktion: Der junge Japaner Teruo gerät in den Konflikt zwischen Tradition und Moderne, als er nach einem mehrjährigen Studienaufenthalt in Deutschland, den ihm sein reicher Adoptivvater finanziert hat, nach Japan zurückkehrt. Nun soll er Mitsuko heiraten, die Tochter des Adoptivvaters, der er schon seit langem versprochen ist. Doch er, der die Freiheiten der westlichen Welt kennen gelernt hat, will jetzt lieber die Frau heiraten, die er liebt, und verhält sich Mitsuko gegenüber abweisend.
