Liebe ist wunderbar. Und kommt in verschiedenen Formen und Manifestationen. Sei es die Liebe zum Umfeld, zu Details, zur Familie, Freunden, (Haus-)tieren, Essen – Gott, kann man einen guten Burger lieben. Liebe ist einzigartig und doch universal. Wir wissen nicht, wo sie her kam, wir wissen nicht, wo sie hingeht aber wir wissen, wie sie sich anfühlt. Jede einzelne Person auf der Erde weiß, wie sich die ein oder andere Liebe anfühlt. Einzig die Geschichten, die dem Gefühl anhaften, variieren. Und das ist das Schöne daran.
Pablo Ruiz Sánchez ist ein Filmemacher, dessen Berlin-Liebesgeschichte wir heute mit euch teilen wollen…

I fell in love with Berlin two years ago. I remember it so clearly. It felt like I was home. It felt like I knew the city without ever having been there. It felt familiar, beautiful and calming. I felt what I can only describe as happiness. It wasn’t the usual kind. The kind that drifts away quickly. It lingered. I felt it for a year. So, I went back again. Even now, after two years, around the same time as my first visit, I get nostalgic. I remember the cobble stone streets, the courtyards, the rooftops, the views and I long for her all over again.
What a beautiful video that describes exactly how I fell in love with Berlin. I went on my own but at no point did I feel lonely. I knew Berlin and Berlin knew me, I wasn’t a foreigner. Its hard to describe Berlin, a vibrant, young city yet steeped in history that feels like the distant past yet still alive and thriving. An energetic yet completely chilled city. An outrageous, scandalous, fun city yet wonderfully cultured and dignified. A city which loves you back no matter who you are, a city where you can be yourself completely and without shame or fear. I cried when I saw the Fernsehturm flashing in the night sky as I took off, I realised how much I’d fallen in love with Berlin and how much Berlin loved me back.
