Under the loving but firm guidance of an old fan turned director and cultural diplomat, and to the surprise of a whole world, the ex-Yugoslavian cult band Laibach becomes the first rock group ever to perform in the fortress state of North Korea.

A film about the first Laibach album officially released in Yugoslavia. The record came out despite the political ban that was in place on the band's name at the time, in 1985 - but without the name or a title. A black cross on the cover was enough.

In the video film shots from the tour are interspersed with acted scenes, video clips and theoretical reflections of Slavoj Žižek and critic Chris Bohn. Together they form a compelling story about Laibach, controversial Slovene music group in the eighties.

Laibach is a Slovenian avant-garde music group associated with industrial, martial, and neo-classical musical styles. They formed on June 1, 1980 in Trbovlje, Slovenia (then Yugoslavia). Laibach represents the music wing of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) art collective, of which it was a founding member in 1984. The name "Laibach" is the German name for Slovenia's capital city, Ljubljana.

As part of the Spectre world tour, Laibach returned to the city after which it is named (Križanke 16. 5. 2014). The concert was clearly divided into three parts. In the first part, they presented material from the new album. With Milan Fras and Mina Špiler in the foreground and a recognizable animation in the background, the band replayed the new album and ended it with the song Whistleblowers. In the second part, they played some old songs from Brat moj through B Machina, Leben Tod to See that my grave and kept clean. For the third part or additions, they left Tanz mit Laibach and Das Spiel ist Aus. Laibach proved once again that they remain a young, agile and current band.
