Stars, pop culture and the attitude to life between the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11 are shown in this documentary on the 30th anniversary of the former music channel VIVA, which first shaped the zeitgeist - and was then overrun by it.
Nobody was waiting for it. Nobody believed in it. But the first German music channel VIVA set standards and changed pop culture forever.
The first German music channel hit like a bomb. It was followed by intoxication, excess and exuberance - true to the motto of the 1990s: higher, faster, further.
After the rush comes the hangover. A new millennium brings dark clouds over VIVA. The end of the party is near.
