This film tells the story and present of a very special German band, the story of ELEMENT OF CRIME: it's about music, friendship, an attitude to the world and the secret of making music together for 40 years.
ELEMENT OF CRIME was founded in 1985 and has been an integral part of the German music scene ever since. They are regarded as the best-known unknown or the least-known known band in the German-speaking world. What kind of artists are they? How did they become what they are?
Director Charly Hübner explores these questions with great sensitivity. He follows the band on a tour of Berlin, which was organised especially for this film, and takes us to places that are representative of the band's development. We see Berlin, the city of the Berlin Wall, learn about the band's most important companions, New York, John Cale, London, Düsseldorf, Ata Tak, the end of the Neue Deutsche Welle and the beginning of ELEMENT OF CRIME. Never nostalgic, never sounding like the ‘good old days’. The band is far too alive for that...
