He boozed with Lemmy from Motörhead and spent time in jail. He was a street musician, a redneck, a weirdo, a faggot and, above all, always a rebel - Jürgen Zeltinger is a Cologne icon. In the 1980s, he and his band covered Lou Reed and the Ramones Cologne style, and his socially critical songs, such as Sozialamt, are still sung today. The film shows the old rocker on tour, plunges into archives and interviews friends and companions such as Wolfgang Niedecken and Heiner Lauterbach about "de Plaat," as Zeltinger is known in the scene. Oliver Schwabe tells the fascinating story of the fat, bald street kid with the short fuse who still rocks! "Asi mit Niwoh" - the somewhat different Heimatfilm!
