Mr Eiffel and his wife bask in bliss. He builds monuments, bridges, train stations around the world and she follows him everywhere he goes. The two are  one. Until one morning Cathy can not get out of bed. Doctors and scientits come to her bedside but hey all remain powerless. She loses weight and starts fading away. But Mr Eiffel knows what to do. Locked in his workshop for days, he is fighting to save the one he loves. One morning, as one fears the worse, he  takes her for an incredible journey through the streets of Paris to an immense tower that touches the clouds. Cathy in his arms, he climbs and climbs…and the miracle happens. Her cheeks turn pink and her eyes sparkle again…
