Germany under the empire 1910 In Berlin lives family Braun: Ernst, his wife Elsbeth, Hans, Klaus and Annemarie. The girl is called "Nesthäkchen" because she's the youngest family member. Other persons in the household are cooky Hanne, parlour maid Frieda and the nanny Lena. Lena is an attachment figure for little Annemarie. Grandmother (Elsbeth's mother) visits the family very often. In this episode Annemarie gives away her doll Marianne to a poor girl and comps her shoes to a netherland girl.
