Mericke aus Neu-Ruppin kommt nach Berlin

Directed by Adolf Gärtner

Mr. Mericke is a simple-minded, small-town man from the German provinces at the end of the imperial era. He arrives in the big city and can’t stop marveling: the tranquility and slow pace of his hometown are jarringly contrasted here with the fast-paced rhythm of the global metropolis, which deeply unsettles the visitor.
