该片是关于前东德歌手格哈德•冈德曼动荡生平的传记电影。冈德曼白天在露天煤矿驾驶着挖土车,但晚上却作为歌手登上舞台,以自己创作的音乐感染他人。他以生活和生死为题材,却也涉及政治和社会批判主题。凭借其颇具个人化和真实感、既忧郁又富有诗意的作品,他成为八十年代东德地区的大众偶像,但也时常遭遇同上级的冲突。甚至在两德统一后,冈德曼的受欢迎程度亦丝毫不减。然而,1995年时,冈德曼作为间谍与东德国家安全局合作的往事被公开,尽管这似乎并未影响到他的音乐事业,却令他陷入了漫长的个人斗争。该片获2019年德国电影奖包括最佳影片、导演和男主角在内等六项大奖和三项提名。。During the cold and rainy off-season a man arrives in a seaside town and, giving his name only as Pierre, checks into the only hotel which remains open. His arrival arouses curiosity and a degree of suspicion, as people note that he appears to know the area, yet gives no explanation for his presence at that bleak time of year in the dead-end town.。
