Synopsis
Berlin is literally everywhere. There are over 100 places called Berlin across the globe. The documentary film Berlin around the World unites the most diverse Berlins.
The documentary features one day in the German capital as well as six other Berlins across the globe: Berlin offers plenty of fish and sits right by the sea in Papua New Guinea. Berlin has 100x more Llamas than people in Bolivia. The Russian Berlin gets freezing cold at minus 35 degrees. Berlin in Guinea is all about voodoo and mosques. Berlin’s highly prestigious Miss Berlin election is held annually in El Salvador.
Wilma Pradetto, Katja Döhne, Holger Preusse, Hannes Schuler, Stephan Kühnrich, Claus Wischmann tell stories from far away, often featuring seemingly mundane tasks that gain a deeper meaning when put into a global context. Worldwide Berlin is full of surprising, amusing, amazing and touching associations and references.
The film overcomes distances effortlessly; it jumps climate and time zones, we switch between Bolivia, Guinea, Germany, El Salvador, Papua New Guinea and Russia - yet, we always stay in Berlin.
