Musician, author and entertainer Rocko Schamoni plays one of the leading roles.

In the beginning he often shot with a small team and took on many functions himself. As in Klaus Lemke's films , in which he directed the camera in two productions, amateur actors often appeared in Peschel's films , it is shot at original locations and also spontaneously and improvised .
