Ein Haus in Berlin

A House in Berlin

A Glaswegian woman discovers that she has a distant relationship to a historic building in Berlin and embarks on a journey into the history of 20th-century Germany, one that turns out to be more alive, ambiguous and unpredictable than expected, for it confronts her with the little-known history of Zionism and Palestine.

Filmed, performed and narrated in a restrained, almost Brechtian manner, this contemporary visual quest lies at the intersection between fiction and non-fiction and challenges our 'common knowledge' about the genealogy of contemporary Europe.

"A complex, yet lucid and compelling account of personal pathways intersecting with great forces of history."
