We, People of Siemensstadt
Three characters produce a portrait of the Siemens workers’ neighborhood in Berlin, which became an open museum of the International Style buildings. A lonely worker who yearns for the good old Siemens days, a Jewish single mother who lives in a building from the Nazi regime, and a girl from a family of Ghanaian immigrants who lives in Hans Scharoun’s original apartment. Their stories of detachment reveal the transformation of the German working-class family within the Utopian habitat for which it was created.
