A homage to the form and style of the German expressionist movies. Maria is "kidnapped" out of the fin-de-siecle to today's Berlin and wanders through the streets, discovering the city. A visual journey with images from Berlin, Providence and New York City. The mood of the film swings between historical quotes and stylistic elements of the new underground.
