750th anniversary of West Berlin: Why did Alexander have to die? Was it suicide or cold blood murder? The starting point is the cool seventies, including rock festivals, drug parties and free love.
Why did Alexander have to die? Was it suicide or cold blood murder? The starting point is the cool seventies, including rock festivals, drug parties and free love. A fateful fatherhood, in which Arnfinn, Alexander's friend, is also involved, has its origins there. The trail continues to West Berlin in the 1980s, the former walled city. There, Alexander encounters Louise's parallel world, that of a drug-addicted prostitute. Berlin's squatter scene becomes the focus of Arnfinn and Alexander’s story. Berlin prepares for its billion-dollar 750th anniversary celebrations in the city's east and west, while funding for alternative projects is cut. Priest Klitsch warns of this imbalance, but is not heard. After the alternative cultural center Mehringhof was violently searched in night and fog operation, social contradictions clashed at the Kreuzberg Festival on May 1st. Amid the May riots and Reagan’s visit, Alexander's trail is lost. Did Alexander involuntarily get caught up in the wheels of the frontline city of Berlin?

I studied "performative art" in Berlin and later as a guest student in Hildesheim, worked at the municipal theatres in Berlin and Dortmund and in the film business, the last six years in television, and lived in Berlin for a long time.
