Ein kleiner Film für Bonn (2000)
Character: Self
Klaus Wildenhahn, a native of Bonn, takes a personal and slightly wistful look behind the scenes of the government's move from Bonn to Berlin and bids farewell to the comparatively modest “federal village.” He is not interested in the political celebrities, who, unlike in the television reports produced at the same time, serve only as background noise, but in the everyday lives of the small employees, parliamentary servants, chauffeurs, and waiters.
