CICERO – ZWEI LEBEN, EINE BÜHNE

CICERO is portraying the highs, lows and cracks of the exceptional life paths and careers of the outstanding artists Mr. Golden Hands Eugen and his son, renowned singer Roger CICERO. Unprecedented passion always drove both protagonists back on stage. In their brilliant artistic work we find their way of thinking and acting, the everlasting attempt to cross borders and to neglect stereotypes. Kai Wessel, Katharina Rinderle and Tina Freitag create an impressive cinematic and musical journey – showing two profound and tightly interwoven life stories, give insights to an unique father-son relation with unexpected parallels – at the same time revealing universal themes, among them the preciousness of life or finding its own identity. Dense interviews of close companions were combined with spectacular archive material and unreleased recording footage of five decades.
