Berlin electro composer Martin, known as DJ Ickarus, tours the world's dance clubs with his manager and girlfriend Mathilde. Shortly before the release of his new album, he is admitted to a psychiatric clinic after a performance in a Berlin club while intoxicated. While Ickarus wavers between therapy and withdrawal symptoms, his career threatens to collapse - and his relationship along with it.
Directed by Hannes Stöhr

    Somewhat naive and too self-indulgent, it still offers a nice perspective on the berlinese techno / ableton scene in the early 2000s. A nice watch overall
