 | | The film, without claiming to be exhaustive, tells the story of TON STEINE SCHERBEN, the most influential German-language rock band to-date, and above all broaches the question of what remains of their commitment to a classless society and the ideas of 1968 at the beginning of the 21st century. |
 | | Between footage of recent and historic concerts, musicians from the bands Ton Steine Scherben, Die Sterne, Element of Crime and Das Department voice their thoughts on the themes contradictions, demands, enemy images, ideals and of course music. |
 | | Beginning at the grave of lead singer Rio Reiser, who died in 1996, the film traces the rise of "Scherben" from idealistic outfit advocating a classless society to founders of its own label who retreated to a commune. |
