Chronicles the early days of The Beatles in Hamburg, Germany. The film focuses primarily on the relationship between Stuart Sutcliffe, John Lennon, and Sutcliffe's girlfriend Astrid Kirchherr.

A portrait of St. Pauli and its people.

Inspired by true events, the gangster epic LUDEN tells the rise of the Nutella Gang, the most famous pimp cartel in Hamburg's legendary Reeperbahn during the 1980s. The unusual cartel turns the rough red-light district in St. Pauli into a glamourous place, but it is also the beginning of a power struggle with the established pimps of the GMBH.

Wicked, mysterious and shrouded in legend: the red light of St. Pauli has always had a special attraction. The lively chronicle of this colourful, dazzling place tells stories of corrupt police officers, vigilantes and vigilantism, money laundering and contract killings - but also of family, clan and solidarity. In addition to love for sale, cabaret, gambling, live music and professional sports naturally also settle here. The world careers of the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix also began between squats and strip clubs.
