Richie Bravo, once upon a time a successful pop star, chases after his faded fame in wintry Rimini. He funds his dissolute lifestyle and addiction to gambling with concerts for busloads of tourists and sexual favours for his female fans. His world starts to collapse when his adult daughter suddenly breaks into his life and demands money from him that he never gave her. Meanwhile his elderly father, who suffers from dementia, goes round and round in circles in an Austrian nursing home. (Sovereign Film Distribution)

Watching this guy work is simply fun! A slacker and entertainer – a singer, a legend of local pulp bars and hotel lounges for seniors on vacation – whose past sins will catch up with him. A superbly captured setting of an Italian beach resort in the ghost-town off-season, shrouded in fog and a dusting of snow. If you like German kitsch pop-folk as much as it deserves to be liked and, at the same time, you enjoy exploring the life stories of weird individuals in and unconventional settings, with Ulrich Seidl you’re again in the right place.
