Patricia hears the voices of the band Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft (D.A.F.), calling her to their concert. She makes her way there and tries to get in, despite the fact that she doesn’t have any money. Somehow she is buzzed into the backstage area though. Walking through the door, she finds herself in a shifted reality where violence blooms, blood flows easily and Patricia is hunted by something.

It started out very promising but gradually becomes a disappointing mess. One gets the impression they didn’t know how to end this movie, so they shot three-four of them and put them all in together
I watched it out of nostalgia, essentially, since I was just 18 at the time.
Hearing the music of DAF again after all these years made a very strong impression on me—though I’m probably not the only one, given that the band inspired at least one other film, “Verschwende deine Jugend” (https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0327227/). That film is, in any case, more structured than this one, which, when it comes down to it, is basically just a giant music video.
I’m not sure what kind of impression it might make on someone who knows nothing about the band or that era.
Thanx
