This is the story of Pero Lovšin, the first punk star of the former eastern Europe. Of how he made music history and, through his music and lyrics, helped shape the history of Slovenia. From the rebellious anarchism of the 1970s, Slovenia’s independence process and demonstrations in central Ljubljana, to the UEFA Euro 2000 in Amsterdam. The camera follows Lovšin on the road and at home; as he performs in small towns across Slovenia, with his band in Vienna, and on a grand stage in the capital, and as he works on his latest record.
