What happens

Immensee: ein deutsches Volkslied (English: Immensee: A German Folksong) is a 1943 German melodrama film directed by Veit Harlan, loosely based on the popular novella Immensee (1849) by Theodor Storm. It was commercially successful and, with its theme of a woman remaining faithful to her husband, was important in raising the morale of German forces; it remained popular after WWII.
