International Congresses: “The fall of the Berlin Wall”
Congresses were held in 7 European cities (Milan, Toulouse, Bryssel, Berlin, Louvain-la-Neuve, Salamanca, Coimbra, Moster) to assess the renewed tensions between European countries and Russia, 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall symbolizing the end of the Cold War.
A film was shot with the participation of young Europeans.
Synopsis: After the Second World War, a political and ideological confrontation existed between the two superpowers which were the United States, the Soviet Union and their respective allies. A phoney war in Europe with no cannons or guns…. a cold war!
And for the young generations, this story of the Cold War tends to disappear in a lapse of memory. It is to find out more about this period that Lucas and Emilien, two students accompanied by Ariane, a violinist, travelled to Berlin, a city that saw the concentration of this war’s main tensions in Europe.
