Tilda Swinton is a young woman cycling around West Berlin alongside the 150 km long, iconic symbol of the Cold War. She leads us on a journey through fields and historic neighbourhoods, past lakes and massive concrete apartment complexes, offering her thoughts and opinions on what she sees. This hippie-like longhaired girl recites poetry, picks flowers, takes pictures of the guard tower, and meets the guards. (Uppsala International Short Film Festival)
