So was von da

Hamburg's St. Pauli district on New Year's Eve. Oskar Wrobel runs a club in an old hospital at the end of the Reeperbahn. His life has been one big party. Now, though, it seems that the party's over. While firecrackers explode in the streets of St. Pauli, preparations are being made for a big demolition party: the club is to be closed. Oskar has debts and no idea of what to do. Fortunately, he hardly has time to think about this, because a desperate ex-pimp forces his way into his apartment; his best friend, Rocky, is succumbing to fame; fun-loving Nina is all gloom and doom; and there are all sorts of things to deal with in the club. And then there's dead Elvis, the cabinet minister, and Mathilda, Mathilda, Mathilda. (Filmfest München)
