Magical Mystery - "Wasn't that actually a Beatles thing? And didn't it kind of go down the drain back then?"
Karl Schmidt, best friend, surrogate brother and drinking buddy of Sven Regener's legendary novel character Herr Lehmann, is a man with a past. After a nervous breakdown in hospital, six years later he tries to escape the dreary everyday life of his shared therapy flat. As the "girl for everything", he accompanies old friends on a "Magical Mystery" tour through Germany. A bizarre community of techno pioneers, up-and-coming DJs and a guinea pig in his luggage, he tries to unite the rave of the 90s with the hippie spirit of the 60s and slowly finds his way back to life.

"Magical Mystery" is a road movie about Germany between reunification and the Love Parade, a touching story about ageing and friendship, a picaresque novel, a comedy with pointed dialog and lovingly drawn characters. Directed by Dominik Günther, Sven Regener's novel becomes a staged party at the Kulturhaus Schwanen in Waiblingen.

Afterwards there will be an after-show party (admission free/sol-ticket) until 02:00 with DJs Hyperfokus and SYRINX
