action

17-year-old Frankie Köhler plays the guitar and wants to become a rock star. Just like his grandfather Abbi, who still performs with his band, the Thunderbirds. Frankie's father, Johannes, the dentist, is of course against it, and Frankie's mother Karen does not always manage to get across. When Abbi dies at a gig and his father sells his guitar, Frankie moves out in frustration. His girlfriend Isabelle Ringel, the piano player Big Ed and Willie, the owner of a recording studio, help Frankie achieve his dream. Isabelle's ex-boyfriend, the band leader Jochen, tries to sabotage Frankie's career. But finally Frankie makes it. He and his band appear in the opening act for the Scorpions on the Berlin Waldbühne.

The music was written by Harold Faltermeyer . In addition to the Scorpions, The Princes and Peter Maffay performed and played themselves.
