SO WAS VON DA

Hamburg, the hip St. Pauli district, New Year’s Eve. Oskar runs a music club in an old hospital at the end of the famous and notorious Reeperbahn. His life was one big party. But now it looks like the end has come, because whilst the streets echo to the sound of firecrackers, preparations are underway for the big demolition party – the club has to close. Oskar has debts but no idea what is to become of him. Fortunately, he has no time to think about it: a desperate ex-pimp is storming his apartment, his best friend Rocky is collapsing under the stress of fame, fun-loving Nina is painting everything black, the club is bursting at the seams and then there’s the dead Elvis, the city’s Senator for Internal Affairs and – Mathilda, Mathilda, Mathilda.
