Zip Up the Two is a video-portrait of two local shops in Berlin and Nicosia, who preserved their fabric and haberdashery businesses through the changes in history occouring on their doorstep. Both lived/lives through the realities of a divided city, while the Berlin shop has been thriving with the changes in the local environment in Prenzlauer Berg after the reunification. The fabric shop in northern Nicosia's old town on the other hand seems like a lively social hub, an inclusive meeting point for customers from both sides of the border.
The campaigning and struggle to unite Cyprus still continues today.
