A short song, composed by Kirsten Heiberg's husband Franz Grothe for the movie "Rätsel der Nacht" (Mystery of the night).
It starred Kirsten Heiberg and Lotte Koch and was shot in 1945 in Holland (produced by Berlin-Film). Alhough prinipal photography and synchronisation had ended it was not completed before the war ended...
