Babylon berlin isnt ready making history its the most elaborate and expensive series ever produced by german t. V. It tells the story of a Police Detective environment era been in production costs have topped forty. A Million Euros babylon berlin had its International Premium in the german capital on thursday three experienced writers including tom take worked on the script for five years and then directed the series as well. As governance because im going to expose one for the whole project was an unbelievable explosion of creativity art and culture and it was a heck of a lot going on in the one nine hundred twenty s. Especially about land from hundreds of thousands of migrants that arrived most of them from Eastern Europe we can. They make it with the rest of the population and they were welcome here or you simply wanted a new start in life and for.
