Die Gesänge der Verlierer

Heroes Who Aren't: Tyler is the manager of a mediocre rock band in London's East End. His job isn't particularly lucrative, and he makes ends meet with various side jobs. When success finally seems within reach and the record label wants to invest money in a music video, the band's eccentric singer disappears. Tyler's discovery of him in Los Angeles doesn't solve any problems—in fact, Banks refuses to collaborate any further, forcing Tyler for the first time in his life to seriously contemplate his life and what others call the future. Fleeing from himself and from making a decision, he aimlessly drives through the Southern United States in a rental car—until a surprising new beginning emerges at what he believes is the lowest point of his life. Rolf Lappert compellingly and with dry humor narrates tales of failed beginnings and perseverance.
