In a context of social and political upheaval following World War I, a group of young idealists embarks on a journey to change the course of their country. As the situation in Germany becomes a fertile ground for ideological conflicts, these friends, each with their own convictions, find themselves caught between idealism and the harsh reality of a world on the brink of collapse.
The story follows Paul, a passionate philosophy student who dreams of a peaceful revolution, while his friend Clara, a fervent socialist, advocates for more radical methods. The tension between their viewpoints creates an internal dilemma that threatens to tear their relationship apart. Meanwhile, other members of their group are influenced by the violence resonating in the streets, each choosing their own path: some join the protests, while others are drawn to extremism.
As the country crumbles and repression becomes more evident, Paul and Clara must decide whether their ideals are enough to change the world around them, or if they are ultimately destined to become part of the history they are trying to challenge. In this emotionally charged drama, the bonds of friendship and love are put to the test amidst the chaos, leaving the characters to confront the difficult question: What does it truly mean to be a "winner" in times of defeat?
