What happens

Berlin Alexanderplatz is a 2020 drama film directed by Burhan Qurbani. The third adaptation of Alfred Döblin's influential 1929 novel of the same name, following one in 1931 and a 1980 fourteen-part miniseries, this iteration transposes the story to the modern day with an undocumented immigrant from West Africa in the central role. It was selected to compete for the Golden Bear in the main competition section at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
