Synopsis

This entertainment film features a colorfully mixed program of musical numbers, along with the most popular artists of GDR music, film and television. Before each performance, the artists involved are seen in an everyday situation in their life.

 

The majority of the show is comprised of music performances, which are visually altered or transformed in some way:

  • Veronika Fischer and Band: "Ich bin die Fischer, und das ist die Band" ("I am Ms. Fischer and this is the Band"), "Liebe ist gegangen" ("Love is Gone")
  • Karat: "Charlie," "Trag mich fort" ("Carry Me Away")
  • Angelika Mann: "Das Märchen von den sieben Zwergen" ("The Tale of the Seven Dwarves")
  • Kurt Demmler: "Verse auf sex Beinen" ("Verses on Six/Sex Legs")
  • Kreis: "Du machst mich müd" ("You Make Me Tired")
  • Reinhard and Eike Lakomy: "Liebe im Wald" ("Love in the Forest")
  • Chris Doerk: "Käfertango" ("Beetle Tango")
  • Dorit Gäbler and Wolfgang Wallroth: "Es wird bald Frühling sein" ("Soon it will be Spring")
     

The following cabaret-style written contributions and comedic one-acts round out the program:

  • "Im Frisierrsalon" ("At the Hair Salon")
  • "Eheleute" ("Married Couple")
  • "Liebe, Lust, und Leidenschaft – spätere Heirat nicht ausgeschlossen" ("Love, Lust, and Passion – Later Marriage Not Excluded")
  • "Maler und Modell" ("Painter and Model")
  • "Vater und Tochter" ("Father and Daughter")
