A visual poem on the bustling metropolis of Berlin during its post-depression period, just prior to its takeover by the Nazis. It follows the everyday life of the Berliner from early morning to midnight (going to work, shopping, dancing, going to the cinema). Ruttmann was influenced by the Russians, in particular the montage theories of Dziga Vertov.
