At last filmmaker Otto Spalt wants to do what he has always dreamed of: the time has come to make his big feature film. There's just one little thing he still needs: the money. At the 189th board meeting of the Executive Committee for the Evaluation of Film Projects the combined expertise of a grotesque jury will decide Otto's future film. Will Otto manage to convince the panel of his artistic talent? Otto Spalt is relying wholly on the effects of his five short films, which he duly presents to the illustrious tribunal: a lavish production involving 5000 actors ("Phantom"), a sensitive melodrama addressing the question of the right direction in life ("Backwards"), a duel with the inherent violence of the flesh ("Meat Ball Pauli"), a breathtaking action-packed thriller ("Murder By Scissors") and a sizzling tale of espionage about micro- and potato-chips ("Close Up") are calculated to open the eyes and the purse of the Film Productions Committee.

"Memory of Berlin" is John Burgan's autobiographical documentary about the life as an adopted child. Using the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 as the jumping of point, Burgan uses the history of Berlin as a metaphor for his own state of mind. The divided city is Burgan's split identity. Burgan's unknown biological heritage is an invisible ghost in his life. In order to confront this "doppelgänger" that he has never known, yet it always has existed, he slowly start searching for his biological mother. Though the film evolves around this search, the film is mainly an emotionel voyage through the life of a man trying to find his true identity. With a mix of historical archive footage, child hood footage and Burgan's own recordings from his time in Berlin, Burgan reflects on the story of his life in connection with the history of Berlin. Burgan barely appears on screen in person, but is overwhelmingly present through the poetic voice over, which through-out the movie put words behind the many pictures and feelings the film creates.
