Lichtenberg

Through the eyes and ears of an old abandoned apartment block in the centre of Berlin, 'Lichtenberg' tells stories from five different periods of recent Berlin History. A Weimar murder, a Nazi meeting, an East German family's escape, the arrival of two 90's squatters and finally, a woman who hopes to host a young Syrian refugee in her flat.

My take

A haunting portrait of Berlin's fractured past told through one building's walls. Intimate, historically layered, and deeply human—for viewers who crave stories that linger in the spaces between eras.
