Welcome to Clubland and to a never-ending party, to a non-stop rave in an unreal world. This is where people come to dance to the rhythms of the latest music and to pop pills for a few hours of bliss.
Welcome to Clubland, home to crazy Shirley Maus, who dreams of a modelling career. Her boyfriend, Lupo, is the boss of the best club in town. A cool customer, Shirley is the only one who can really ruffle his feathers. Not long ago, Sunny Sunshine was the most sought after DJ on the club scene, but he’s decided to turn his back on all that synthetic night club madness. He’s just about had enough of it all when the distraught Shirley rushes headlong into his arms one night.
Sunny doesn’t know anything about Duke yet, to whom Shirley and Lupo owe money, and he certainly hasn’t a clue just how close he is to an absolute fandango… –Berlinale
