emil, emil, emil.

This documentary was made in 2011. It deals with a harshly meglected, because very special and somewhat weird chapter in the history of music: In the wild 70ies, Emil Penning was one of the best-known characters of the local music scene in the rather small and boring town Oldenburg in northern Germany. Emil has experienced a lot a so he has a lot of stories to tell. The movie is in german and has no english subtitles.
