DIDI AGAINST THE REST OF THE WORLD
90 years of Dieter Hallervorden on September 1, 8:15 p.m. on ARD
We are delighted to have been able to accompany this man for 15 years:
Dieter Hallervorden - one of the last icons of German show culture turns 90 on September 5. A life between bursts of laughter and tears, between scandal and applause.
The man behind "Nonstop Nonsense", behind feature films such as "Didi - Der Doppelgänger", behind a life's work that has made millions laugh and moved them to tears as an Actors in films such as "Honig im Kopf". He is also one of Germany's most controversial, uncomfortable and contradictory artists.
He is still on stage at the age of 90. Runs three theaters of his own. Produces songs and sometimes trouble.
The documentary "Hallervorden - Didi against the rest of the world" shows Hallervorden today, in private, accompanying him in his everyday life, which he doesn't have at all, because each of his days is different, exciting, varied and above all full! And this movie also shows the major turning points in his eventful life.
A documentary by Simon Tanschek and Lukas Hoffmann
Production: Eitelsonnenschein on behalf of WDR, BR and NDR.
