This poetic and enigmatic documentary, relying exclusively on sight and hearing, is a contemplation of the historic and symbolic significance of the Berlin Wall. The camera captures both the crucial and the seemingly banal moments of the turbulent last days of the infamous structure and its demolition. Excavators, curious tourists and excited masses all drift amongst the rubble, with the backdrop of constant murmuring and incessant mass media reporting. This unconventional masterpiece reflects the soul of Berlin in a tumultuous historic moment when it became, overnight, a united city once again. The Wall depicts Berlin’s transformation from a Cold War symbol to a global tourist attraction.
