Documental sobre un episodio en la vida del músico de Manchester Mark Reeder, quien gracias a la efervescente escena musical de su ciudad en torno al club y sello discográfico de Tony Wilson (aquel que sirvió de plataforma por ejemplo a Joy Division o Happy Mondays) pudo trasladarse a vivir al Berlín pre-caída del muro como emisario, donde disfrutó de su ambiente punk y post-punk semi-clandestino, en el que se vivía las 24 horas (como también en su ciudad natal según mostraba aquella película de Winterbottom) en una especie de fiesta apocalítico-contracultural. Allí entabló amistad con Gudrun Gut (Malaria!), Christiane F. o Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubaten) entre muchos otros. Reeder fue el responsable de alojar a Nick Cave en el final de los Birthday Party y facilitarle su introducción en el ambiente berlinés. Este y otros muchos detalles son referidos en el suculento documental, que se sirve preferentemente de las imágenes super-8 grabadas por el protagonista además de por un programa televisivo para el que hizo de guía.
Documentary around the adventures of Manchesterian musician Mark Reeder who in late 70s left the effervescent musical scene of his city around Tony Wilson's Hacienda club, whose label (wich provided a platform for bands like Joy Division or Happy Mondays) allowed him to move to live in West Berlin pre-fall of the wall as an emissary, where he enjoyed its 80s punk and post-punk semi-clandestine climate, taking part of the 24 hours party (also happening in his hometown as shown in that Winterbottom movie) wich developed in a sort of apocalyptic-counterculture debauchery. So he befriended Gudrun Gut (Malaria!), Christiane F. or Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubaten) among many others. Reeder was responsible for hosting Nick Cave in Berlin at the end of his Birthday Party project. This and many other details are mentioned in this succulent documentary, made of images from Reeder's super-8 camera in addition to a program dedicated to the scene during the period for which he served as guide, among other visual archive documents.
