As soon as one enters the main area of Frankfurt Main airport, one is greeted by a larger than life information board which makes one stop in awe for a few seconds until reality kicks in and one starts to check for the relevant gate and information regarding the flight.
A hullabaloo of noise then takes over with scores of people rushing by in a bid to check-in before the gates close, solitary men and women dressed smartly and with only a hand luggage or briefcase off to a meeting of sorts whilst parents are trying to keep their children calm whilst waiting.
Far ahead a couple are having a rather heated argument, could be he forgot to pack something important or maybe he left his passport behind ! Police are discreet but vigilant ensuring that everything is in order whilst cleaners and others workers ensure that the place is spic and span for the thousands of passengers who go through the airport on a daily basis.
Within all this many lives are intertwined in one building... people who are happy or going through a tough period, others stressed with work whilst others are relaxed and looking forward to their anticipated holiday.
In the meantime yet another aeroplane takes off, carrying with it a multitude of hopes, worries and dreams...
