The "Eva" whose story is being told is the self-confident and ambitious young scientist Dr. Vera Schmitt. After successfully completing her doctorate, Vera Schmitt married the director of the printing press plant, Dr. Stefan Bunge, with the firm intention to never let jealousy and arguments arise in their marriage. This resolution is soon put to the test and threatens to fail when Stefan Bunge is promoted to general director of a combine in Leipzig. From now on, the two have a weekend marriage because Vera is not ready to subordinate her own professional development to Stefan's new job.

Günther Simon, Walter Jupé
This East German movie was co-produced with studios in Hungary and Yugoslavia, with many interesting location shots (border checkpoint to West Berlin, the Gellert bath in Budapest, and more). The plot is about French drug dealers, who obtain heroin somewhere in the Middle East, and smuggle it in several steps to East Berlin, and from there to France (or so it appears), killing when necessary. The hero is an officer of East German customs, who with detective work, some masquerade, and occasional violent action ultimately unravels the whole network, of course with the support of the local customs departments.

South America at the beginning of the 1980s. A man is on the run from a group of armed pursuers. He does not manage to escape and is shot down mercilessly. Young Maria witnesses the cruel event and asks her friend, the journalist Oswaldo, to find out about the backgrounds of this case. The police also start to investigate the case and find out that a mysterious German farm is involved in the shooting. But the farm lies in an exterritorial area, thus the police officers cannot investigate any further.
