The main character is Thomas.

When the latter realized that the victory of the revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1968 would not come, he decided to complete his studies in order to become a full-fledged architect.

After some time, he succeeded in his plan — he specialized in attics and began to find his first clients. Since such work was considered to be in demand, the guy was able to quickly achieve the desired result — after a few years he had so many clients that he barely had time to do all the necessary work.

One day Thomas heard about a tender for the design of a bridge over the River Spree. He decided to enter the competition and specifically designed a bridge, which with all its appearance demonstrated its fragility.

The young man subsequently married a girl, Uta, who was an intern at his company. Soon after the wedding they settled in the most beautiful attic, arranged by the employees of Thomas’s firm.
