Fatum

The wealthy farmer Kobus Drost is asked by his cousin Verbeek to come to Volendam to discuss the financing of his boat renovation. The meeting with Anna, Verbeek's maid, makes a big impression on Drost. He convinces the young woman to go with him to work on the farm. Drost's older sister is not particularly happy about this, nor are most of the farm workers, who tease the stranger from Volendam. Kobus, who likes Anna, often has to protect her. When he notices after some time that Anna and employee Arend are very fond of each other, he becomes terribly jealous. As soon as Arend is called up for military service, Kobus takes advantage of his absence and asks Anna to marry him. She agrees.
