Synopsis

Look at the life of Gerhard “Gundi” Gundermann, one of the most formative music artists of East Germany – with sensibility, affection, and humor. He died in 1998, at the age of 43. He dreams and hopes, loves and struggles. He’s a spy who gets spied on, a do-gooder who doesn’t know better. He is torn. This film is both a music film and a love story; a drama about guilt and entanglement, about suppression and confrontation.
