À propos de ce contenu audio
My Berlin Koffer is a time capsule of West Berlin between 1976 and 1986, a time when the city was literally an island of freedom in the middle of Eastern Europe, restricted by the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall. After a few years of teaching in England and in France, Mimi is looking for a change in her life. West Berlin in the 1970s offers affordable rents, a good university, part-time jobs, and an abundance of cultural events.
For a young, educated woman with plenty of room in her suitcase, the island of freedom seems to be the ideal place in which to settle. It’s a long and winding road to learning German, studying for a master’s, and finding an interesting job, while enjoying cinema, theatre, music, art, as well as socializing with cosmopolitan friends and adapting to a new culture. Will this extraordinary city which never sleeps enable Mimi to find what she wants and eventually fill her suitcase? And if it ever overflows, will she ever be able to leave?
