Peu de gens connaissent le nom du peintre viennois Stefan Helmers. Sa petite amie, Anita Berger, est employée comme styliste dans l'élégante maison de couture de René Valentin. Un jour, Stefan reçoit étonnamment l'ordre de concevoir un vitrail dans la vieille église d'un petit village du Salzkammergut. Fou de joie, les deux jeunes partent. Anita n'a même pas jugé nécessaire de faire une demande de congé auprès de son patron. René Valentin est donc un peu perplexe lorsqu'il lit sur une note le message succinct que son employée dût partir soudainement. Les brouillons de la nouvelle ligne-A lui seront envoyés plus tard.
