A woman married to the Berlin Wall, a pony going for a ride on the S-Bahn, a nudist chasing a wild boar. There’s no doubt that Berlin is home to the weirdest stories.

​

That's why “In Berlin, only animation beats reality.”.

​

We expressed this concept in various directions, starting with a series of animations based on true Berlin stories that debuted on the Berliner Fenster and online media.

​

To find more true, yet weird Berlin stories, we went to the one place that has surely witnessed lots of them: the Späti – a sort of typical Berliner convenience store, originally from East Berlin.

​

We teamed up with three local Spätis and brought to life their craziest true stories in a series of mini-docs. Their owners became FAB ambassadors, inspiring stickers using classic Späti phrases and were also invited to be exclusive jury members of the Späti Award – for the best Berliner animation according to them, naturally.
