Synopsis:

Thomas, stationmaster: 12 years without one mistake, suddenly the apocalypse: 22 dead, over 100 injured. Distracted by the flirtatious Anna, Thomas ignored a signal to lower the gate at a road crossing and the train collides with a truck. In trial Anna testifies in his favor, Thomas is acquitted. Yet neither he nor Anna can forget what happened and throw themselves into a passionate relationship with eachother. She, too, cannot put the dead out of her mind. Can guilt be shared? Can the dead speak to them? Has normality been swept away forever?

For a moment the otherwise proper station master Thomas Hudetz is distracted by Anna's flirtatious behavior. This results in a catastrophic train accident with countless deaths. Thomas and Anna lie to escape blame, and this lie about their shared guilt forges their bond, changes and ends yet more lives.
