What happens

Oktoberroser er en dansk film fra 1946 instrueret og med manuskript af Charles Tharnæs. En ægtemand fristes til udenomsving, giver efter, for så at kæmpe med sig selv og sin samvittighed. Børnene er loddet i vægtskålen, dem, der til sidst får ham til at blive i ægteskabet, selvom han så skal svigte kvinden, der for en stund forsødede hans tilværelse uden for de hjemlige enemærker.
