As construction on a tunnel between Denmark and Germany begins, the present sets off toward the future. Ethnologist Dara documents the buildings that will soon be demolished. Young Lucek and his crew set up the construction site. Käthe ferries people back and forth between the two countries. Birte and Leif give up a home that has been in their family for generations. Agnes’ life is still palpable in her diary and in the objects and walls of her house that will soon disappear. A Danish summer: long days turn into blue nights. People meet, then part ways again.
