Summary:Documentary showing how engineers have endeavoured to marry the technical systems of East and West Berlin following the fall of the Berlin Wall,systems which proved to be as incompatible as the two political systems. They were faced with major incompatibilities in every single system - from telephones to roads. The scale of the problems facing the city and the technology needed to bridge the gap are explained.
