What Amélie was for Paris, Cleo is for Berlin: Bursting with ideas and creative twists, the plot follows treasure hunter Cleo through an enchanted city.
Cleo works in a tourist office. She has never been able to accept the death of her father, who died when Cleo was 10 years old. When she learns of a magical clock that can turn back time and is said to be hidden in the treasure of the Sass brothers, master criminals, she decides to search for it to save her father. She is assisted by Paul, with whom she soon embarks on a wild journey through Berlin’s history. A big-city fairy tale told with a lot of humour and quirky supporting characters from the past – romantic, playful and at the same time a love letter to the city of Berlin.
