The Film was shot in Berlin by Isa Edelhoff and Mirko Heinemann in 1993. For 30 years she kept the material, it survived several moves (6!) and life experiences over all this time. In 2023 the editing started. The movie shows the life of the Bulgarian Film-producer Christo Bakalski in the reunited Berlin after the wall came down. It is like a journey back in time.
