What began in the 1990s as an ironic take on German pop music evolved over time into a cult phenomenon that continues to captivate people across generations. “UND ES WAR SOMMER” tells the story of Dieter Thomas Kuhn & Band—honestly, humorously and movingly—offering a behind-the-scenes look at the ultimate summer party through rare archival footage and exhilarating live performances.
