The ginger-haired Cleo, after whom the film is named, loves Berlin and the city's history that keeps growing in different directions. But since the loss of her parents, she has been living in isolation from the world. Adventurous Paul comes to Cleo's rescue, and together they embark on a journey in pursuit of the great clock that can run time backwards. During their journey they encounter various famous people from history: movie star Marlene Dietrich, scientist Max Planck, the infamous burglars, Sass Brothers who ravaged Berlin in the 1920s. But the most important encounter is Cleo's encounter with herself. Erik Schmitt uses bizarre effects and digital tricks to narrate a surprising and engrossing tale that you can enjoy with your children.
