Storyline
A bordello doorman in West-Berlin wants the Wall and
his past back. The Yugoslav immigrant Dragan Wende
used to be the street king of West-Berlin’s 1970s hedonistic
disco scene. Along with his friends, he roamed the
nightclubs on both sides of the Wall – his pockets full of
Western money. But when the Wall fell, everything changed.
Dragan has not set foot in East Berlin for the past
20 years and has no intention to do so. A microcosm of
underdogs and their survival strategies unfolds as a tragicomedy
in a still-divided city.
A crazy piece of world history told from the kitchen of an
eccentric and washed-up bordello doorman. A moving
piece of family history, told in the historical dimension
of the Cold War. A loving portrait full of (black) humor,
stunning archives and music:moving, educational and
entertaining.
