Berlin Oranienplatz

In the organizer's words:

The last day of summer in Berlin. Dawn. Can, leaning against his car, smokes a cigarette and watches the Tegel correctional facility, lost in thought. He is as old as his vintage car, a Mercedes 230E, built in 1982. Can, the child of working-class parents from Kreuzberg, has made big money counterfeiting designer clothes and brand-name watches. Actually, he should now pay the price. But he's not the type to do that, and the next morning, instead of going to prison for five years, he wants to go to Istanbul. Berlin Oranienplatz tells the story of a young man's last day in Berlin. People and places are revisited that Can has almost forgotten, that have almost forgotten him. The streets of Berlin, Can's parents, his ex-girlfriend, a backyard mosque, a jazz club.... Can will say goodbye to his Berlin that made him who he is. But the city, like himself, has long since drifted far away from each other.90 years after the publication of Alfred Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz, Hakan Savaş Mican writes a new story about contemporary Berlin with Berlin Oranienplatz. He tells,as in his last production Die Nacht von Lissabon, with poetic video images and live music about missed chances and the attempt to find out which life is the original and which is the copy of another. TRAILER WATCH Berlin Oranienplatz is the first part of a trilogy that will be continued with Berlin Kleistpark and Berlin Karl-Marx-Platz.
