Nebe pod Berlínem

Fed up with Prague, a teacher of thirty escapes to Berlin with two plans: to form a band named after the U-Bahn and to win back Katrin. Life above and beneath the city's streets comes through in his rambling, breathless narration, which captures the rough speech of the many odd characters he runs into. Punk rock, a dash of eroticism and comedy, and fragments of the city's divided past mingle, along with memories of East Germany, its plastic toy Indians and the East Germans who scaled the West German embassy fence in Prague in the autumn of 1989.
