From Ernst Reuter to Eberhard Diepgen, from the Marshall Plan to the glittering 750th anniversary celebration, from the "Hurrah we live" to the sparkling island metropolis - city history for New Berliners and memories for old Berliners - these 8 short films from four Berlin post-war decades offer. Summarized under the title "Uns kann keener" they tell the story of the Berliners' changeful attitude to life. About survival in a city that was first divided politically and then walled in. From the courtship of workers and tourists, from the resurrection from ruins to the attractive cosmopolitan city - to the colourful shop window of western freedom.
