there is an order -
but we don't know it

Berlin Alexanderplatz 2000 - within 24 hours, various stories rotate between the heights and depths of the square, between the television tower and the subway shafts, between larger and smaller fates, that slowly but surely become entangled.


There is ASAKI (Marusha) - she knows about the planetary catastrophe, that is approaching and foresees the correlating dramatic events. Her mission is to save the city. Or ANNA (Marie Zielcke), who just wanted to spend a weekend in town to finally find out what it feels like to "take off". But she imagined something totally different. Also KATJA (Nadeshda Brennicke) thought it would be easier to bring her carefully planned coup to an end. But before finally leaving Berlin behind, she needs to find out: How did her boyfriend Franz die? Was it really just an accident?

And not only at this point JO (Baki Davrak) enters the game. He is roaming between the stories, can't or doesn't want to remember how it all happened with Franz. And he doesn't understand, why the security employee WALTER (Ben Becker) and the dubious MILAN (Birol Uenel) are after him... All he wants is to take ANNA on a flight to another dimension. But for that the planets aren't too favourable...


Love, murder, fairytale, drugs, madness, humor and a lot of music -
planet alex moves playfully through various genres.
A sparkling firework of ideas that come together in a greater story. With its driving rhythm, the film sketches the seeming loss of orientation in Berlins city as a pulsating, shimmering network.
