In The Bunker is a film about our necessary faith in Art, shot at and inspired by the Boros Collection in Berlin.
Housed in a gigantic overground WWII bunker built to represent Nazi supremacy, the world-famous Boros Collection is now a private space, available through guided tours. To this end the Boros have gathered a team of art mediators like no other, culled form the richest Berlin brine. Each tour is unique, every visitor falls under a spell.
In The Bunker follows five guides in particular, who are stripped bare through the very artworks that they usually present.

Born in 1978 to a Swiss mother and French-Mexican father, both nomads at heart, Savoir studied Fine Arts in Paris & New York. She became a Goldsmith in Mexico, a book Editor in Barcelona. In 2020 she and Producer partner co-founded their creative studio based in Berlin, Cascade.
Honing her Creative Direction skills through commercials, Savoir also co-directed & conducted all interviews for Cascade’s first short documentary “Get Used To It” for NGO Skateistan in Johannesburg in 2019. She played the same role for the bestselling Mark Gonzales book published with Rizzoli NY in 2021, now in its second edition.
In The Bunker is Cascade’s first feature length film, Savoir’s first as Director. While it is a return to her Fine Arts roots, it represents the sum of all her creativity, interests, and experience gathered over the years.
Theirs was the first crew ever allowed to film the premises. They gave Savoir a key and carte blanche for 5 days. It is not an investigative proposal centered on the Boros couple, who are an eternal source of media fascination. This film is about the mediator’s gift: a million reasons to love this difficult world, and its sometimes difficult art.
