Anna meets Martin on Chamisso Square. He is an architect commissioned to carry out a restructuring program for this neighborhood. Anna is a member of a grassroots initiative trying to preserve the quarter. Unexpectedly, he falls in love with her, putting both in conflict with their jobs and ideals.

Between Berlin’s rooftops, opposites attract when architect Martin meets the young activist Anna. This tender love story captures Kreuzberg at a crossroads, as different worldviews collide over the area’s gentrification. Although the Kiez has since evolved, this ’80s gem remains as relevant as ever.
