With his super-charming dance through the supermarket, Friedrich Liechtenstein has reached over 13 million clicks on the Internet.

Supergeil became the buzzword of the hour. As far as the international press such as the New York Times and the Guardian, the world deals with Friedrich Liechtenstein. The multi-layered artist is an actor, chansonnier, professional flaneur and utopian.

The film by Jan Schmidt-Garre alternates between the oblique personality of Liechtenstein, his trashy, not always serious work and his crazy biography. From bourgeois life as a puppeteer in the GDR on the Boh?mien life in post-Wende Berlin, including total crash in poverty and heartache, to Youtube millionaire.

In front of the camera, 'Germany's most famous hermit' (Die Zeit) tells of his life: from his childhood in Eisenhuttenstadt, from the time when he went through life without a commitment and lived from cheap quark on the rock, to the legendary success, who came over him with 'super-cool'. With many excerpts from Liechtenstein's theatre productions, puppet shows, concerts, his acclaimed CD album Bad Gastein and of course the videos that led to the Edeka commercial.
