The camera takes viewers through a day in 1920s Berlin, from dawn until nightfall, narrating the rhythms of the metropolis with all its contrasts. The film is accompanied by the DJ duo Gebrüder Teichmann, whose music focuses on Berlin’s subcultures and experimental sounds. Their approach accentuates, fragments, and quotes, weaving Berlin’s stories from the past into the present while intertwining them with Ruttmann’s visuals.
