Story
The GDR in 1961 was a rather joyless place. When two kids establish a fan club for a rock’n’roll musician, authorities prick up their ears. The youngsters protest against the Berlin Wall, scribble graffiti, even burn down a barn. The government puts on a stage trial. The verdict: imprisonment for life. 14 years later they are bought out by the West German government. Based on a true story with no fairy-tale ending.
