The year is 1920 and the young architect Robert is hired to join the remodelling of the station and the planning of the first underground line. He is over the moon; he can finally propose to Luise, the love of his life. But shadows hang over their happiness. Robert’s best friend Johannes, with whom he fought side by side on the frontline, has been missing since the Great War. Johannes was Luise’s first love.
