The story is set in Hamburg, Germany, during the seventies. At this time, Hamburg was a stronghold of the rocker-scene.
SPOILERS AHEAD
It starts with one member of the local rocker gang coming out of jail. After he gets a welcoming reception by his rocker friends, he learns that many things have changed: He visits his former girlfriend who now works as a sales girl in a department store and who stopped being with the gang quite a while ago. At home, his father is annoyed by the music he is playing on the stereo, so he leaves to sleep in the cottage, where he is hassled by the neighbors who don't like rockers.
Meanwhile Modschiedler, about 15 years old, meets with his older brother, who doesn't live at his mother's anymore. He deals in stolen cars and gets in trouble with the local pimps who kill him during an argument. Modschiedler watches it, gets drunk, spends the night drinking, next morning he goes to work drunk (he works in a supermarket), and gets fired because he starts to vandalize the store. To have him out of the way, his mother sends him to his aunt. Because he has been awake the whole night, he falls asleep at the bus station and misses the bus to his aunt. When he enters the nearby diner, he meets our rocker and they make friends.
Modschiedler tells the rocker what has happened to his brother and the rocker decides that this deed needs to be avenged. So he gets the rocker gang together and they drive to the place where the pimps hang out and beat them up.
There is more, i.e. a drug deal etc, but I don't remember it exactly as it is quite a while I've last watched this movie.
END OF SPOILERS
When you are from Hamburg, you will find the film very interesting, because it shows many places in Hamburg and it's always cool to see how those places used to look like so many years ago. Also there are quite a few nice cars to see, and - best of all - the pimps in their seventies outfit, they do really look funny. The rockers are played by members of a real rocker gang. Therefore the acting is pretty bad. But as soon as the actors start talking, you'll forgive them for that, because the slang they use is so amusing to listen to, it's really cool. The whole film is quite funny, although I don't think it was intended to be. It's more like "it is so bad, it is already good". Many scenes are involuntarily funny just because of the bad acting.
I'd give the film 6 out of 10 just for the slang they use and for the clothes they wear.
