A portrait of a city as seen by temporary Berliners. The documentary recounts stories from the forty-plus years of post-war history, from the days of the Cold War to the arrival of a new Berliner after the fall of the Wall and depicts those who came and stayed and those who passed on through – artists who report on their life, work, and their personal experiences. The film’s pageant interweaves the life stories of internationally renowned artists which are raucous and restrained stories of constraints and freedom, of flight and yearning, miniatures of world history set in a place that has learned to flaunt its difference to the rest of the world.
