The German "Maginot Line" in the east, that is the older "Oder-Warthe-Bogen" fortified front line, was planned by Hitler and consisted of a gigantic underground network of bunkers linked by galleris of which only 30 km were completed by 1945. Today amateur explorers, with special lanterns, ropes and the help of maps made by themselves, dedicate their free time exploring this construction of underground architecture. The film follows a group of three friends of the Saxon Loebau who spend their weekends exploring the most remote corners of this huge labyrinth.
