During his apprenticeship, Bruno Melzer is still full of hope that he will one day be able to escape the mediocrity of his life. But his dream of becoming the architect of his own fortune proves to be a fragile utopia: He marries a casual acquaintance while she is expecting his child. When his wife falls ill with cancer and dies years later, Melzer suddenly has to bear the responsibility of raising three children alone.
