Walter Ruttmann's classic is a fascinating journey through time into roaring twenties from Berlin.

A daily routine in the life of Berlin, filmed at the end of the 1920s. A kaleidoscope of impressions that convey a vivid picture of the four million metropolis:from the first dawn, when the first commuter trains arrive until late at night, when the illuminated signs of the cinemas and dance palaces are reflected on the rain-soaked asphalt.



Hustle and bustle, poverty and wealth, employees, flaneurs, and again and again buses, trams, trucks, subways, trains, cars, bicycles, pedestrian flows as the pulse of the urban rhythm:

Walter Ruttmann's montage film is a fascinating journey through time into roaring twenties from Berlin.
