action

The German rapper Cro wants to bring a movie to the big screen and is starting an ideas competition. Among the many submissions, three completely different concepts convince him: The film student and Asperger's patient Vanessa is planning to make a documentary about the rapper's life; Comic artist Ludwig has an animated film in his head about his beginnings in the rap business, and screenwriter Dawid wants to film Cro's life 30 years in the future. During the filming of the film, the three get closer and deeper relationships develop.

criticism

“Partly quite original comedy, which of course takes place in a bubble removed from reality. The effective advertising appearance of a current star of the music scene fits seamlessly into the superficiality of the contemporary German entertainment film. "
