In the organizer's words:

FSK 16 | 117 minutes | documentary | 2017

Lothar Lambert has been making what is now called "German Mumblecore" for almost fifty years:
With his low-budget films about sex and longings, self-realization and psychological deformations, desires, the weal and woe of the little-noticed in the urban jungle, the Berliner, born in 1944, became the most famous representative of German underground cinema in the seventies and eighties.

With his 39th, longest and possibly last film, he now looks back on his life and films, which mainly took place in Berlin and always revolved around this city and its inhabitants.
With memories and film excerpts juxtaposed with current footage of the same locations, with statements from contemporary witnesses, companions, friends and fans, Lambert creates a sketchy portrait of his own life and filming as well as of real life in (West) Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s in a relaxed and entertaining way - and not least a reflection on the changing zeitgeist and atmosphere in the city.

An exciting, authentic insight into a unique work and a time that is now often romanticized, in which Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Ingrid Caven played for Lambert or Klaus Nomi sang for him.
