Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

Marcel Tiss (Richy Mueller) is a young punk rocker in Berlin whose main talent is spouting real fire in-between his lyrics every once in awhile. He has the requisite punk girlfriend, and spends his time in the requisite kicking of cans, pinball, and slightly anti-social antics. He runs into Rudy Smirak (Jean-Pierre Kalfon) a Mafia-type whose dour view of life fits in with Marcel's own temperament. The young punk singer is conned into helping Rudy kidnap the son of a wealthy profligate, but when it is time for the ransom to be gathered, things start to go wrong. Marcel realizes he was into something he never wanted in the first place, and when the chance comes to use his fire-breathing technique, he comes through like any self-respecting dragon.
