Documentary

Documentary reports on everyday life in a big city, focusing on the window cleaners of Berlin. The narrator loosens up the shots of the window cleaners with amusing word capers, and the lively music complements the intercut scenes. The camera accompanies the glass cleaners on workshop windows, small and large shop windows, glass-clad house facades, balconies, office buildings and on the roofs of high-rise buildings. The viewer experiences everyday life in various professional areas and recognizes the little idiosyncrasies of the people portrayed.
