Film director Michael Ballhaus returns to Berlin after years of absence and no longer recognizes his native city. Together with his colleague Ciro Capellari, he rediscovers his hometown, 20 years after the fall of the Wall. In their view, the city is less hectic and glamorous than Paris or New York, but possibly more stimulating. They portray the actresses Angela Winkler and her daughter Nele, who has Down Syndrome, Alex Hacke, all-round musical talent and bass player of the band Einstuerzende Neubauten, author Peter Schneider, Berlin's major Klaus Wowereit, the German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier, a Turkish shopkeeper, a DJ, fashion designers, a rapper and architects. A colorful array of personalities who are realizing their dreams in Berlin and reinventing the city in the process. |
