Berlin Calling


Berlin Calling is a 2008 German tragicomedy directed by Hannes Sthr. The movie depicts the events following DJ and producer Ickaruss Paul Kalkbrenner institutionalization for drug abuse.

At the hospital, Ickarus gets to know the other patients, namely Crystal Pete and Goa Gebhard, and is slightly unnerved by their idiosyncrasies. The clinics head doctor Dr. Paul recommends that Ickarus take a break from his music and touring to recover in the hospital under her care. She emphasizes that Ickaruss commitment to the hospital is purely voluntary. Although Ickarus agrees to stay at the hospital, he continues work on his album by having his laptop and recording equipment brought to the clinic. Ickarus leaves the clinic and relapses into drug use after visiting with Erbse. Alice, the head of the record label Vinyl Distortion to which Ickarus is signed, tells Mathilde that the release of Ickaruss new album is indefinitely delayed. Upon hearing this, Ickarus visits Alice and destroys her office when she refuses to speak to him.Upset at Ickaruss lack of progress, Mathilde moves out of their apartment and in with her lesbian coworker Corinna. After receiving a 25,000 Euro tax bill, Ickarus tries to visit Mathilde at Corinnas apartment, but she refuses to see him. Dr. Paul tells Ickarus that since he refuses to follow his therapy schedule and leaves the clinic without permission, he must leave the clinic. That night, after Dr. Paul has left, Ickarus convinces the clinics intern to allow him to throw a goingaway party. The party quickly gets out of hand when Ickarus brings drugs, alcohol, and prostitutes. Dr. Paul arrives at the clinic and locks Ickarus in a room. ........
