MAGICAL MYSTERY
By accident Karl Schmidt runs into his old buddies in Hamburg in the mid-90s. While Karl had a nervous breakdown on the day the Berlin Wall fell and wound up in an asylum, his old buds have become stars in the budding new Techno scene. With their hit label, they want to put on a Magical Mystery Tour of Germany, to combine the 1960s psychedelic spirit with modern 1990s rave flavor. The only hitch: Someone has to stay sober and straight to drive the tour bus. The perfect job for Karl Schmidt, who's ready to get out of his dreary halfway house anyway. A madcap road trip though the drug-fueled 90s German techno scene begins... The all-star adaptation of the cult novel by "Element of Crime" singer Sven Regener (MR. LEHMANN).
