Born in 1960 in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Nena, whose real name is Gabriele Susanne Kerner, grew up under the influence of a father who encouraged her from childhood to follow her instincts. As a teenager, she tried her hand at music. It wasn't long before a band was formed, The Stripes. 99 Luftballons, their second single, launched Nenamania in Germany and around the world.

Depeche Mode have had a loyal fan base since the 80s. Even in the deepest GDR province, boys wanted to look like Dave and people danced in black leather to "Just Can't Get Enough". A documentary about a great love.

Armin Mueller-Stahl was one of the few Germans to become a celebrated Hollywood actor. He had to start all over again several times: after the Second World War, after his break with the GDR and finally in Hollywood. He often decided to take the risk of possible failure. The documentary also shows his life as a musician and painter and, above all, as a person.

An exciting story that made history itself. The legendary record label stands for a turbulent success story in East and West that is unparalleled both musically and economically. The record company is home to its own genre, East German rock. City, Puhdys, Karat and Silly became the sound of the GDR, which AMIGA successfully exported to the West even back then. The label probably landed its biggest coup with Karat's "Der Blaue Planet". By 1989, almost 480,000 records had been sold on the other side of the Wall. We were known throughout Germany, sums up the last AMIGA boss, Jörg Stempel, and laid the foundations back then for East German rock to remain so popular today.
