After 70 years of repression and self-sacrifice in East – Berlin, Hella’s husband dies as the Berlin Wall comes down. Instead of crumbling like most old woman, Hella sees this as a new beginning. Armed with her dreams, she builds a new world of beauty, humour and dance.
A story of a particular individual, one of the countless inconspicuous inhabitants of Berlin…who at closer glance casts a different light on herself, society, history and on the city of Berlin.
