Acclaimed filmmaker Andreas Dresen returns to Germany's recent past, in this biographical portrait of the multifaceted and often contradictory life of East German singer-songwriter Gerhard "Gundi" Gundermann (Scheer). By day, "Gundi" worked as an excavator operator in a coal mine, but by night, took to the stage, performing as a successful musician. Idealistic, politically active, and passionate, "Gundi" was revered for his intelligent, melancholy lyrics rife with social commentary that struck a chord with his fans. In his heart, "Gundi" was a rebel, a poet, a clown, father, and loyal husband to his wife Conny (Unterberger). His popularity and status in the GDR's art-scene caught the eye of the East German secret state police, the Stasi. Although short-lived, "Gundi" was recruited as an informant and in turn, became a spy, who was then spied upon himself. Dresen’s skillful blend of flashbacks, music, and drama presents an inspirational portrait of Gundermann that is both a music film, a love story, and a film that courageously addresses guilt, entanglement, suppression and, above all, Gundermann's defiant spirit.
