The mission: Your story in Berlin
You decide to start from Alexanderplatz, the city’s biggest square. You've made a list of locations you think could help spark her memories. You hope that each place you visit will stir up stories from the past in your patient. You will finally reunite Lilly with her lost love, once and for all.
Berlin 1930s context
Private lives under dictatorship and approaching war
Berlin in the 1930s was transformed by Nazi dictatorship: political opponents were suppressed, Jewish residents were persecuted and public institutions were brought under authoritarian control. This quest uses an original love story to make that period emotionally legible. Its couple is fictional, while the escalating restrictions and atmosphere surrounding them belong to documented history.
