Johan wants to see what it takes to become a myth. So he follows in the footsteps of Eik Skaløe, the lead singer of Steppeulvene, who committed suicide in India in 1968. And he would like to do so all the way. Luxury-loving Mikkel is not so wild about Johan's wild life experiments, but nonetheless joins him on the trip, which takes the two Danes across a magical, wild and unpredictable India. A crazy trip, reserved for those who are out of their minds.
"Stig Møller - a genuine flower child" - a Danish musician and singer/songwriter who has been active in the alternative music movement since the early 1960's. He started out with bands like The Rivals and Blackbeat, became a folksinger with a solo career, met with poet Eik Skaløe and found the cult acid/folk/rock group Steppeulvene and much more.
Maria grows up in a seedy 1960s working class neighborhood, the daughter of an ambitious emigrant father and soon caught up in her own dangerously one track-minded pursuit of a violinist's career. A rich gallery of highly original characters contribute, for better and for worse, to Maria's coming of age. Based on Kirsten Thorup's critically acclaimed 1982 novel, filmed by Morten Arnfred.
A film documenting the life and death of Eik Skaløe as a poet and singer for the danish band Steppeulvene. A symbol for the Danish hippie-movement.
