Unemployed engineer Pavel Garden has fallen in love with the wealthy doctor Marianna. His friend and flatmate, philosopher Ivan Kuropkin, loves Klára, the landlord's daughter and Marianna's cousin. Klára's parents, Mr and Mrs Haugwitz, the owners of the house, run a successful business as greengrocers. The landlady cannot cope with her sudden social ascent and plagues her family with her excessive behaviour and dress sense. Pavel has managed to cultivate a special violet rose which he calls Marianna. The girl, however, mistakenly accuses Pavel of self-interested motives and rejects him. Mrs Haugwitz arranges to make an investment into the construction of a luxury hotel with the banker Ladman. Her otherwise downtrodden husband opposes her decision and refuses to put a penny of his money into the project. Both young men receive their marching orders and, together with their landlord, they move into a rented house where they cultivate a garden. The cheating banker has meanwhile caused Haugwitz's wife to go bankrupt and she is glad to accept a position in her husband's company. A celebration is held to mark the company's succes and all sides are reconciled. (official distributor synopsis)
