Berlin Stories

The film follows Lizzy, Marlon, and Ohboy as they juggle their acting careers with the vibrancy and alienation of urban life. Marlon, a newcomer, faces difficulties not only in his acting role but also in babysitting, highlighting the chaotic nature of his new environment. Meanwhile, Lizzy pursues fame but discovers that the nightlife offers little more than superficial glamour. Ohboy, while skilled, feels trapped in a cycle of comedic misadventures as he navigates the city.
