Synopse
A melancholic and amusing father-son story with Viennese charm and wonderful music: Austrian singer-songwriter Voodoo Jürgens plays his first leading role. Erich »Rickerl« Bohacek dreams of making it big as a musician. He wants to be a role model for his six-year-old son Dominik, who loves his chaotic part-time dad more than anything. Instead of filling the big concert halls, however, Rickerl roams the Viennese pubs with his guitar and keeps his head above water with odd jobs. His ex-girlfriend Viki, meanwhile, has started a new life with Dominik and her boyfriend Kurti in their tranquil home. Between his responsibilities as a father and his passion for music, Rickerl tries to find his very own sound in life.
