'Street Beats'
The true story of a young musician's wild and reckless years on the streets of Europe and in the Paris Métro. The story starts as he meets his first big love in London in 1979. They travel together and in Munich the Street Beats are born as three musicians get together and spend an unbelievable summer playing the streets of Germany, France and Switzerland.
Follow the adventure through the corridors of the Paris Métro with the infamous Civil Police, sleeping rough in Stuttgart, Munich and Bern, playing in the snow of a German winter and the heat of a French summer. A story of young love pushed to breaking point, of loyalty and betrayal, of the freedom to mess up and experience life without boundaries, of run-ins with the law in three countries, magical street concerts and willing girls.
