action
Eugen, in his early 20s, lives alone because his family has split up. The mother and father have remarried and are not really looking after their son. His situation only changes when he accidentally meets Linda. Linda, who has had vitreous bone disease since birth , is raised in a rather isolated and overly caring manner by her parents. For Eugen and Linda the world changes completely as they help each other to understand each other and to live with their fate.
Love develops from a friendship, and happiness seems assured when Linda, extremely vulnerable to injury from her illness, is hit by a car and dies. For Eugen, everything that has given him support in the past few months is now collapsing, he has suicidal thoughts. Some time after the accident, Eugen has changed, his grief for Linda is still there, but he follows her example of not being intimidated by fate and is optimistic about the future.

The final completion took place in January 2010.
