FADE IN:
INTERIOR, WELL LIT APARTMENT, AFTERNOON
A beautiful modern rooftop apartment in Berlin. There is evidence that a sensitive and creative person owns the apartment–interesting modern art with accents of personal whimsy balance the clean and orderly space.
MANUEL, a handsome man with graying hair and spirited eyes, leads a group from the tidy, well-appointed kitchen to the dining area. There is a terrace adjacent, overflowing with flowers and plants. He turns to the group.
MANUEL
OK, so make yourself at home and enjoy your stay in Berlin. Call me if you have any questions.
INTERCUT RAPID SHOTS OF MEMBERS OF THE GROUP IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE APARTMENT AND IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS AROUND BERLIN
RICK, a 50-something man trying to manage the rapid march of time, standing on the terrace looking past the flowers and whimsical whirly-gig at the spires of the Gothic church a block away. He speaks, as if to the city of Berlin:
RICK
Thanks Manuel for sharing your wonderful home and helping us to discover the welcoming spirit of the amazing city of Berlin.
