Director Sung-Hyung Cho, who was born in South Korea, and has lived in Germany for 17 years,
filmed this accurate, humorous and complex portrait of the sleepy village of Wacken, which
once a year becomes the centre of the heavy-metal world. In her entertaining documentary she
managed to present the fascinating portrayal of German identity.
