The love story that changed the Paris skyline.

Not long after having fi nished his work on the Statue of Liberty, at the height of his career, Gustave Eiffel is invited by the French government to design something spectacular for the Universal Exhibition, to be held in Paris in 1889. Eiffel is totally focused on the project to build the Metropolitan underground train system. But everything changes after a chance encounter with his childhood love, the beautiful Adrienne Bourgès. Their forbidden relationship gives him the inspiration that will alter the Parisian horizon forever.
