History repeats itself, not only in Berlin. 25 years after the collapse of The Berlin Wall the world is still divided, while people feel alienated through the walls of social network. Four persons cross each other’s paths, for a brief period of time. The Artist is struggling to present his revolutionary works on exhibition in gallery. The Runner tries to keep his jogging rhythm by focusing on music, until he realizes that he is alone too. And She after another meaningless one-night stand seeks excitement in shopping and posing for selfies. Only The Tourist tries to be aware of the city and its complicated history of Germans, Jews, Palestinians and Americans. But even he is vulnerable to wheels of history and letting her repeat itself. Through Tourist’s eyes we witness the nightmare of Holocaust, and the raid on Dresden; Jewish Ghettos and Palestinian struggle for freedom; German student movements and its RAF aftermath; erection and destruction of the Berlin Wall; American asylum for Nazis along with the recent demonstrations following the spying scandal. Ultimately each power balances the other: letting the other character to fill the same role in repeated history. After all we can only post another call-to-action note on the virtual wall of social network. |
