The Berlin journalist Jürgen Graf, one of the reporters of the first hour of the RIAS, was often present when prominent visitors visited Berlin. In this entertaining film, he takes the liberty of showing the "real" Berlin, far from the well-known sights. A stroll through villages and old settlement cores shows rural life in a city of millions and oases that elicit "rapt admiration" from visitors. Spandau enchants with its old alleys, warped houses and Spree Forest-like river arms. Berlin is home to the most churches: "The big city doesn't ask about denomination, it tolerates." World War II earned the city the title of "most bombed city," and the Berlin Wall offers "an eerie panorama" that Berliners have to live with without despairing over it. But also the beautiful things like water sports, art enjoyment in the Dahlem museums, a visit to the trotting track as well as the living habits of the Allied Protectors are shown.
