It takes you through the early Untergang years, when they picked up momentum – and members FM Einheit, Alex Hacke and Mark Chung – through a seemingly perverse celebration of collapse and decline.

The documentary also highlights their theatre work with Peter Zadek, Heine Müller, Japanese Butoh dancers, Erich Wonder and La La La Human Steps.
