This is a mixture of documentary and play, with interviews of witnesses, old pictures, and some acting of the story - of a barber who was apparently bringing the Beatles, when they were touring Germany in the late 1950s, to the provincial university town of Marburg (one hour north of Frankfurt). Fascinating for those familiar with Marburg and otherwise quite artsy, this is actually a deeply tragic movie, both about the protagonist and about life in Marburg. Very good insights, but also beautiful pictures and certainly a movie to be enjoyed by audiences anywhere. Occasionally shown on TV, this movie is actually best seen (e.g. in festival contexts) on a big screen, which it occasionally is.
