Rocko Schamoni - Pudels Kern

In the organizer's words:

The village punks come to the city: Twenty years ago, Rocko Schamoni told the story of a village punk who has to break out of the wasteland. It was his story.

But what actually happened after that? In Pudel's Core, Schamoni goes back to his beginnings: in 1986 he leaves Lütjenburg to seek adventure in the big city; Roddy Dangerblood becomes Rocko Schamoni, an artist on the edge of the center, surrounded by everything that still characterizes German counterculture today. St. Pauli is the place of excessive subculture and here he meets the Golden Lemons, Einstürzende Neubauten, founds the Pudelclub with Schorsch Kamerun, discovers the Hamburg School and becomes a member of the legendary humor association Studio Braun.

Pudel's core takes us back to the years in which a village punk became an artist, to the extatic basement nights, into the broken tour bus and all the way to the big record deal - garnished with all the hopes and crashes. It is a glowing portrait of the artist as a young man. For fans of the music, the scene, the time. And for people who have aged into the middle classes and want to remember their wild "youth" and the good old Federal Republic of Germany with Rocko. Forever punk. A typical Rocko anti-hero story, likeable, wild, loving.
