Brief synopsis

Four Chinese punk rockers on a journey through a strange world – to a “Chinese” restaurant run by Thais, at the hardcore vegan place in Bremen, at the Bavarian emergency clinic, in a small Hessian village, holding an early-morning dream interpretation session at an Autobahn rest area, and playing numerous wild concerts.

Joyside from Beijing take you on the road – in their band bus, backstage, day and night, through Europe, for two months.

For the four Chinese musicians, it was a dream come true – at last, they were able to follow the footsteps of their rockʼnʼroll heroes! Off to London they went, to the cradle of 1970s punk rock. To them, itʼs the city of The Clash, Jonny Thunders, The Sex Pistols, and Marc Bolan. In Paris, they paid their homage to Jim Morrison at the Père Lachaise cemetery. The Doors were one of the first rock legends to cause repercussions that were felt in China. And Berlin? Well, of course thatʼs also the city of David Bowie and (Velvet) underground icon Nico!
