Following her parents' wishes, spirited seventeen-year-old Effi Briest marries Baron von Innstetten – a former admirer of her mother – who is twenty years Effi's senior. This marriage of prudence heralds the beginning of a humdrum life, far from home, for Effi. Innstetten devotes himself entirely to his political career, and the sleepy small town of Kessin has very little to offer in terms of variety. But then, one day, Innstetten's old regimental comrade, Major Crampas – a charming womanizer – arrives on the scene. Effi begins a passionate affair with him and, for the first time, discovers the meaning of love. Years later, when Baron Innstetten hears of their now bygone affair, he challenges Major Crampas to a duel: "I love my wife. Yes, it may seem strange, but I still love her. – But if you hold true to such things and tell me that you love this wife so much that you can forgive everything, I must ask you: do we have to go through with this? – In spite of this, we must. We are not mere individuals. We belong to the whole. And it is our duty to defer to the whole." Crampas dies in the duel. In a departure from Fontane's version, Effi decides that the only thing to do is to begin a new life ... (Berlinale)

Hermine Huntgeburth chose a factual approach to the adaptation of the book. She doesn’t rely on any special shifts or updates; instead, she tells a period drama, leaving the emotions to the mature performances and offering the audience the great, unseen scenery of Pomerania (the novel is set in the fictional port of Kessin, derived from Swinemünde, today's Świnoujście). While Julia Jentsch and Sebastian Koch are relatively older than their characters should be, at least they maintain an appropriate distance between them.
