Storyline

I enjoyed this movie immensely. It tells the story of a Jewish cemetery in Berlin but much more than just that. It tells the story of some of the people that have a connection with it, the people that worked there, whose parents or grandparents are buried. It also gives an account of the 20th century in Berlim with historical footage showing the main events of the city's life. And it is not just a story about Jews but also about many other people: students, visitors and even of a young family that lives in the grounds. The work behind a cemetery as this one is quite huge and it is definitely a place I would like to visit if I go to Berlin again. It's a wonderful park in the middle of the city full of history. Really worth seeing.
