Hamburg in the mid-1990s: following a breakdown and a stay in a psychiatric ward, Charly Schmidt lives in assisted accommodation in Hamburg. He’s kicked his alcohol and drug habit when he meets old friends from Berlin, who now earn a lot of money as music producers. Instead of his prescribed holiday in the Lüneburg Heath, Charly takes a job with them: he’ll drive their tour bus through Germany and take responsibility for running their rave tour. MAGICAL MYSTERY is an entertaining, techno-reinforced road movie in which, as so often, the journey is the goal, almost leading to the self-discovery of a lost person because the trip frees him from a compulsive standstill.
