Synopsis
Dalia and I met Arvid in 2005, when we first arrived in Berlin. Arvid is a great person, but he has a problem: he hates talking about history, politics and ideologies. Which is difficult in Berlin, where history is still visible on the walls, and ideologies are part of day-to-day life. One day, we asked him to drive across Berlin with us. After some initial difficulties, he finally managed to speak about the subjects that he has always tried so hard to avoid.
An intense car trip from East to West, which passes through ideologies and value systems in an attempt to find personal freedom during a rainy day in Berlin.
