With hits like "Vienna Calling, "Jeanny, and "Der Kommissar", the Austrian popstar Falco shaped the music scene of the '80s. He is the only Austrian pop singer to gain international success, and he achieved the first #1 German-language song on the US charts with "Rock Me Amadeus". His success, turbulent years, and early death made him a music legend. Director Patrick Hibler accompanied Falco's career himself as a journalist for a while, and here he forms a portrait which shows Falco's personal side.
