In a post-war Berlin, where social tensions and new intellectual currents are the order of the day, we follow the life of a young idealist named Hans. Frustrated by the materialism of the era and the false promises of romantic love, he embarks on a journey of exploration towards a platonic relationship that challenges the social norms of his time.
Hans falls in love with a fascinating woman, Clara, who, like him, seeks a type of connection that transcends the physical. Through long conversations in bohemian cafes and strolls through their neighborhood garden, they share their visions of life, art, and the true meaning of love. However, the jungle of social expectations begins to encircle their relationship, as friends and family struggle to understand a love that does not manifest in the traditional way.
As they delve deeper into their relationship, they face external pressures that threaten to dismantle their bond. Clara, convinced that it is possible to find a deeper connection without attachments, begins to doubt her decision, while Hans struggles to maintain his idealism in the face of harsh reality. The story unfolds as a play of light and shadow, questioning whether love can truly exist in a world that demands simple answers to complex questions. Ultimately, both are forced to decide what love truly means in their time.
