Copenhagen 1984. Ronni is a young, mediocre punk-guitarist, eager to make it big in the death obsessed late-punk milieu. But his girlfriend has left him, the other members of his band are fed up with his incompetence and insecure attitude, he has a problem with his stomach, his doctor wants to abuse him sexually and the former manager of the band thinks Ronni owes him some money. It seems to reach an ultimate low, when Ronni collapses onstage during an all-important concert, but it turns out to be his ticket to glory as he claims to be mortally ill.

Punk, drugs and a bad stomach

Ronni is a guitarist in "De Skrigende Halse"( The Screaming Necks (!?)) a punk band in the mid-eighties. He´s popularity within the band is dropping because of his recurring stomach problems makes it hard to finish the training sessions. Ronni faints under a concert just to wake up to a lot of angry faces. To calm things down he tells everyone that he´s so weak because he´s dying. His "imminent" dead naturally causes a lot of attention towards him in the local punk scene and things start to happen for the band.

A fairly good comedy flick with a few really memorable scenes and a decent amount of laughs. It might not be to everyone´s taste but what the heck it only lasts about an hour so you don´t risk too much. 6/10
