Dragan Wende - West Berlin | History Documentary

Watch 'Nasser - From Pan-Arab Dream to National Disaster' here:    • Nasser - From Pan-Arab Dream to Natio...  

Award-winning documentary comedy about the parallel history of The Man and The Wall.
The Man is the doorman of the cheapest bordello in the city, The Wall is the most famous symbol of the Cold War. Both are located in Berlin and both had a glorious past.

Now, The Bordello Doorman wants The Wall and his past back.

When Vuk, a young cameraman from Belgrade, follows in the footsteps of his eccentric uncle Dragan Wende, who 30 years earlier became the street king of the West-Berlin hedonistic disco scene, the colorful and tragicomic world of Yugo-immigrants, fraudsters, prostitutes and elderly millionaires is revealed to the camera and our eyes.
Making easy money in West-Berlin's most famous nightclubs, using geopolitical reality and a visa-free Yugoslav passport, Dragan Wende and his friends easily moved from West-Berlin to East-Berlin: profiting from the Wall like few others, earning money quickly by 'importing' goods, enjoying popularity with Eastern ladies.

But then, in 1989, the Wall fell. Suddenly, it was open to everyone and everything changed.
20 years later, Dragan Wende is an aged alcoholic who lives off social welfare and memories of his youth. He has not set foot in East-Berlin ever since and seldom leaves his surreal West-Berlin.

Will that ever change?
