Please, just stand here in silence and look at the sky, and contemplate how amazing life is”<\/em>. A single drunkard stops and follows the instruction…\u00a0<\/span>A not so young “Man with Van”<\/em> wakes up in the morning with a hangover next to last night’s fling and it dawns on him that it’s time for a change. A Berlin native decides at a bizarre flat share casting to stop participating in all this nonsense. In a Turkish caf\u00e9 a young woman confesses her unplanned pregnancy to her mother, which immediately turns into a political issue for the other guests.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”54574″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”54565″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]A stray dog and a kitchen help who is tormented by a choleric chef team up, take some time out together and have a good time at the canal.

The stories were inspired by real messages found in the streets of the city, which Joab Nist<\/strong> has published on his cult blog www.notesofberlin.com<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0<\/span>They are typical for the Berlin cityscape, tell of the worries and thoughts of the inhabitants and reflect pure Berlin everyday culture.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”54593″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]”Notes of Berlin<\/strong>” strolls with the viewer from person to person, from story to story, from note to note and makes the city its actual protagonist. From the early morning, when the clubbers stagger into the twilight, to the late night, when the city is cleaned by busy hands from the remains of the past day, the film tells 24 hours in the life of a metropolis, where the most diverse people and fates meet or sometimes just pass by each other by a hair’s breadth.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”54550″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”54580″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1581030319933{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 36px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}”]
