Schleimkeim - a punk band that realized the subculture in the late phase of the GDR. The band was colorful, loud and, above all, they did not bow to the system. Schleimkeim - »Otze and the GDR from below« deals with the development of the band from its blossoming to its end. What was it like to be a punk band within the GDR before and during the fall of the Wall? And what was it like afterwards with the newly won freedom and the disappearance of the old enemy image? With the focus on frontman Dieter »Otze« Ehrlich, the film goes through several levels of meaning. Through contemporary documents and interviews with remaining band members and relatives, a documentary collage is created that makes music tangible and makes the price of freedom visible. New product
