The reunification of Germany in 1989 prompted a wave of euphoria for youth in the Eastern block. 

With the wall down and capitalism still at bay, young Berliners occupied empty residences and began preparing for their futures bringing change through art and social programs. 

Featuring celebrated choreographer Sasha Waltz, Jochen Sandig, Christian Lorenz of 'Rammstein' fame, social workers and struggling artists, Wilm's discovery of what became of five citizens and their utopian dreams for the new Berlin is as fascinating and diverse as the city itself.

The screening will be followed by a 20 minute Q&A session with Director Maro Wilms.
