Six musicians from the Berlin Philharmonic tell us the story of their orchestra and of the city they live in. We follow them through various situations in their daily lives and are also led to places of historical interest in Berlin; such as Checkpoint Charlie, the wall memorial or the Schönberger Rathaus. From these places in the present we start our journey into the past or into the future. While material taken from the archives breathes life into days gone by, computer animations give us a taste of Berlin in the future.
In addition, outstanding contemporary artists working regularly with the Berlin Philharmonic add their points of view to those of the musicians.
