Synopsis
A Western German small town in the 1980s. Five friends dreamt of becoming pop stars. In a garage they built a sound studio and founded the label Fast Weltweit. They produced vinyl records, sampler, many cassettes, cover, flyer, posters and videos. They went on nation-wide concert tours.
Thirty years later, the film the world, almost meets Michael Girke, Bernadette Hengst, Achim Knorr, Frank Spilker and Frank Werner during an Easter bonfire on a farm in their hometown and asks what has become of their teenage dreams.
