Against a background of contemporary Berlin images, I interview my great-uncle Jose Elias Awad who lived in the city in the 50’s, in the same area I live today. Secretary of the Colombian Communist Party at the time, Jose Elias left his wedding party to help build the Berlin Wall, told off Che for not having read Marx and returned to Colombia, expelled from the Party. Political ideals, daily life and today’s cool Berlin play in counterpoint, shedding light on what could have been and what is.
