Being raised in a rural and protective environment, a teenager travels to Berlin to see the Love Parade and immediately falls in love with the city's vibrant energy. Whenever later in her life she finds herself in a crisis or misses the feeling of adventure and freedom, she returns to her beloved Berlin. The city speaks its own shamanic language and leads her into a wonderland, where she finds a portal to the depths of her own soul. Berlin becomes not only a secret love, but also a role model to tear down her own inner wall and get ready for a new life of inner reunification. In LOVE with a City is based on an original love letter to Berlin, which was written but never sent until now.
