    • Trivia
      Even though the plot is fictional, there is some truth to it regarding the internal relations of the band, especially the problems with Hans. He was kicked out of the real-life band Die Ärzte not long after the release of the film.

    best film of the best band of the world
    This movie is cult! Die Ärzte call themselves now "Best band of the world" and this movie is a reason to agree. Although we'll see Sahnie instead of now bass guitar Rod and this is NOT a biography, you are granted inside looks into the German punk scene of the 80's!
