Life on Gears (2018)
Directed by Henrik Normann
Comedy · 2h 26m
The childhood of Kerdo, the lead singer of the scandalous pop duo Respekt, was anything but rosy. Stepfathers struggling with alcoholism and a constant sense of homelessness have left their mark. His dream of becoming a famous singer is the only certainty that stays with him. But the life of an artist is full of obstacles and temptations. Only escaping into fantasies helps him survive. When his grandmother sacrifices her savings to bring his big dream even closer, he is consumed by an infernal euphoria. Yet, not even Paris can fulfill all his desires and demands. Reality keeps pulling Kerdo onto the wrong path. Somehow, finding fame, fortune, and love all at once seems impossible. Is it already too late to make the right choices? But what is "right" for anyone? Why was I born this way? There is only one Kerdo – but inside him, there is also God and the Devil! Who will win? Even the doctors at the psychiatric hospital don't understand.
