Short summary

In 1971, Christo and Jeanne-Claude thought of wrapping the Reichstag. After endless meetings with Government officials, they were finally given permission to wrap the Reichstag in 1994. For 7 days, in June 1995, a steel framework was constructed, then a metalized material was bound with 17, 060 yards of blue rope. The Reichstag, wrapped in this shiny material, seemed to move in the wind. Five million people visited this extraordinary project.

    If you have seen the real project on the Reichstag in Berlin, you will again take part in the big happy, lovely and nice event it was. Kind of a Remembrance Day. It was just one big party for two weeks and the Berliners along with the visitors from all over the world were part of the art project "The Wrapped Reichstag, project for Berlin, Germany" by Jeanne-Claude and Christo. Normally the Berliners are a litle beasty, but during the project everybody was nice and friendly. For all those who were not there, the film will pull you into the event, show the project from the beginning until the realisation, and make every spectator a part of it.
