With exclusive private archive material and spectacular footage from the "The Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour" 2022, the film depicts the transformation of Merrill Nisker into the queer feminist electro-punk icon Peaches. Artist colleagues and longtime friends such as Chilly Gonzales, Leslie Feist, Shirley Manson, or Charlie le Mindu shed light on the person behind the loud, extravagant stage persona, who preaches a self-determined life beyond common notions of what is possible and sayable: "Fuck the Pain Away." The preview of the film, awarded with a Teddy Award in Berlin, is the perfect introduction to the second weekend of the donaufestival!
