An intimate portrait of the great poet and musician: his relationship with life, love, Berlin, and the political movement of upheaval and rebellion of the 1970s. From a West Berlin political icon, Reiser rose to become the KING OF GERMANY in a quarter of a century. Not everyone could follow the musical and ideological transformations of the singer, who once demanded “No Power for Nobody” with his band "Ton Steine Scherben" and later wrote one of the most famous German pop ballads with "Junimond." In his radical contrariness, the artist, who died in 1996 at the age of 46, remained true to himself. In his biography and especially in his songs, the political upheavals of the republic are alive. If Reiser had performed in Celle – and there was supposed to be such a plan: he would not have insisted on a castle as Rio I, but rather wished to perform in HALLE 19. In this sense: The Duke is dead. Long live the King.

“We are born to be free,” sang the band “Ton Steine Scherben” over 50 years ago. Rio Reiser followed this impulse throughout his life – against all the obstacles that false friends and true enemies placed in his path. This musical journey through time brings the most beautiful songs live to the stage and highlights the social backgrounds of the protest in flashlights.
