City Lives - Berlin
City Lives - Berlin
Berlin is changing fast, wrestling with the past in pursuit of is future, trying to leave behind the familiar images of decadence, fascism and cold war. This film directed by Veit Helmer embarks on a search for the essence of contemporary Berlin. The film is human, exciting and dynamic – just like the city itself.
