Synopsis
Spoiler shield

Amadeus is a small Punker living in a trash can. One day he has got the idea to participate in a punk concert in front of the Brandenburger Tor and convinces his friends to found a band. But still they have no instruments and thus have to gain some money. Meanwhile the eager police officer Herr Schulze is out to chase punks in Berlin and is about to interfere with Amadeus' plans...

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
