It's summer in Berlin and a group of young people work, live and love alongside each other in this semi-documentary silent film classic, which was shot with non-professionals. The destination is Nikolassee on the only free day of the week. Life seems carefree and the future a long way off. Musician Sky Deep produces new sound for the film and interprets the images live for the first time with her energetic mix of electronic grooves.

Cultural Nationalism

A snow-covered meadow. A figure appears on the horizon, slowly moving towards us. The voice of Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party.
