- "Memory of Berlin" is John Burgan's autobiographical documentary about the life as an adopted child. Using the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 as the jumping of point, Burgan uses the history of Berlin as a metaphor for his own state of mind. The divided city is Burgan's split identity. Burgan's unknown biological heritage is an invisible ghost in his life. In order to confront this "doppelgänger" that he has never known, yet it always has existed, he slowly start searching for his biological mother. Though the film evolves around this search, the film is mainly an emotionel voyage through the life of a man trying to find his true identity. With a mix of historical archive footage, child hood footage and Burgan's own recordings from his time in Berlin, Burgan reflects on the story of his life in connection with the history of Berlin. Burgan barely appears on screen in person, but is overwhelmingly present through the poetic voice over, which through-out the movie put words behind the many pictures and feelings the film creates.
