David Bowie, Iggy Pop, i Depeche Mode, gli U2, Nick Cave, i CCCP, Lucio Dalla, gli Einstürzende Neubauten… Sono tutti musicisti che, per una vita intera o solo per qualche giorno, hanno respirato l’atmosfera decadente di Berlino ovest tra la fine degli anni ’70 e l’inizio degli anni ’90 e hanno creato degli autentici capolavori.
Elena Messana ripercorre le avventure dei suoi eroi musicali con l’aiuto di uno di loro: Massimo Zamboni.
