Story

“A Dream in Lilac”

The story is set in the early 19th century Germany, which is going through rapid changes under the influence of the British Industrial Revolution. The Droysens are a family of the “Junkers” who are the aristocratic landowners possessing knight’s estates in the Kingdom of Prussia. In spring, their vast estate is full of lilac flowers which were favored and planted by their ancestors who had immigrated from Poland. The lilac, which represents “pride”, is also depicted on the Droysen family crest. Befitting the symbol, the spirit of chivalry still runs in the Droysens. Heindrich von Droysen, the eldest Droysen brother, dreams of the five brothers coming together to develop a new industry, the railroad industry, just like the five brothers who built the banking dynasty of the Rothschilds, the richest family in the world. One day, Heindrich is introduced by his youngest brother Joseph to Elise, an aspiring musician. Elise is practicing hard every day to become a violinist, despite the cultural taboo of women playing string instruments as professional musicians. Heindrich is attracted to Elise who has pride in her way to live, and she also develops feelings for Heindrich who struggles to achieve his dream.
Believing that the success of the railroad project will lead to the development and unification of the German states, Heindrich assigns each of the brothers the necessary tasks for the project. He, particularly, expects a lot from Franz, the second son of the Droysens who works for the public office and manages the family finances. On the other hand, Franz, who is down-to-earth, is unable to follow Heindrich’s seemingly reckless ways and intensifies his opposition to Heindrich while he still respects his older brother. The wheels of the Droysens’ railroad business begin to turn after meeting Anton, an ironworker who is Elise’s childhood friend. But they face a funding shortfall to operate the business, and Heindrich is pressed to marry Dietlinde, the daughter of a bank president. Meanwhile, the third Droysen brother Georg, who is a soldier and helps Heindrich run the steel plant, happens to hear an insulting gossip about their late father.
While pursuing his dream not only for the Droysens but also for the people living in the German states, Heindrich encounters one difficulty after another. With the pride of the Droysen family, Heindrich works together with his brothers and Elise to face the challenges.
