      Európa sa odohráva na železničnej stanici, v nemenovanom pohraničnom meste, kde starí a noví Európania vytvárajú svoj príbeh o láske, strate a túžbe. V Architektovi sledujeme vzostup a pád Lea Blacka, ktorý bol kedysi idealistickým a uznávaným projektantom. Jeho veľkolepé vízie sa mu však spolu s rodinou zrazu rúcajú, ožiarené znečistenou realitou.
