In the end, only love remains, as can be seen in this part. Particularly during a final song performed by the band, a few tears are shed as the reality of the situation sets in.

Just before reaching the final stop in the West, Rudolf opens up about the past he has tried to forget. Sabine, the gymnast, makes a brave decision, and Sascha remains on the train without his friends.

The impending farewells now become an unchangeable reality at Ludwigsstadt train station, the last stop before the border.
