Synopsis
A Berlin chronicle of superlatives: six decades, from the 1950s to the 2000s, when Berlin is once again the capital of a united Germany. By using archival footage from both sides, news and interviews by former channel Freies Berlin, and material from GDR television, the series vividly displays everyday life in Berlin from both sides of the wall. The divided city shows a diverse picture: cosmopolitan city and quiet suburbs, international politics and everyday life, the scene for stories big and small.
