Berlin, New Year's Eve 1978/79 Snow chaos throughout northern Germany. Our amateur filmmaker is shooting with a Super8 live sound camera in Berlin Moabit on the corner of Wilhelmshavener Str. Here the district is busily shoveling, clearing sidewalks, parking lots and cars and making the first attempts to start them. The fire brigade and city cleaning service are on duty. To the delight of car fans, a few classic cars can also be seen gliding through the picture.
