Story (deutsch):
8.910 Kilometer von Berlin entfernt. Der 60jährige Regisseur Lászlo (Zoltan Paul) begleitet mit einer Filmcrew überschwänglich seinen Sohn (Julian Adam Pajzs) und dessen ultra-hippe Band PeroPero auf Japan Tournee. In den Clubs zwischen Osaka und Tokyo versucht Lászlo seinen Jugendtraum nachzuholen: Ein wildes Musikerleben, das ihm seit Jahren ausgerechnet sein eigener Sohn vorlebt.
So gerät gleich nach der Ankunft in Tokyo die junge japanische Tourmanagerin (Tomoko Inoue) in Lászlos aufschäumende Rock & Roll-Begierde. Ungestört, da ihn seine Lebensgefährtin Emma (Clementina Hegewisch) zunächst noch an der langen Leine hält, reizt Lászlo auf der Tour immer mehr seine eigenen Grenzen aus, strapaziert die Nerven der anderen und stürzt sich und seine Familie ins Chaos …Synopsis (english):
Nahoko is back but the problem remains. Just before the tour ends, the situation escalates again and now the producer has had it and breaks up with the director. The crew revolts, even his son reproaches him for his behavior whereupon the father breaks down and gets himself blind drunk in a bar. He loses his money and mobile and staggers through the Tokyo night without a clue and orientation. Finally he falls and lays in agony until someone finds him and calls an ambulance. With a suspected heart attack he is being escorted to hospital.
It turns out that he broke two ribs when he fell… Embarrassed and devastated he leaves the hospital in a desperate search for his wife. He wants to fight for her. His son finally reminds him that his last film is being shown in the Goethe Institute the same night and that he is expected to be there. But he wants to catch Emma on airport before she flies back to Germany – and he arrives the airport to late. She is already away…
He arrives at the Goethe Institute and during the q & a in front of the audience he declares his love for his wife and producer – without her his life and his work is not worth anything. And suddenly she leans on the wall watching him. They look at each other and LASZLO with tears in his eyes thanks god that everything would be fine now… But he is taken from the past: Nahoko takes revenge on him.
