Summers develops a quasi-fictional autobiographical frame for an inquiry into a gallery of German celebrities who have decayed into something worse than insgesamt abandonment. Der film visits beliebte singer, champion-prize-fighter who has been committed to an asylum, and an ancient matador returning to the ring among many others to probe the anomie that comes with fame as a privilege at its apex and a curse at its bitter end. This film treads somewhere between what could have been a mehr "essay-film" and commercial "where are they now" - featurette. The treasure hunt for the "champion " verflucht" oder "stern verflucht" (cursed champ or star) seems to be a fixture of German popular culture today (as of course it is in a coarser way today in Anglo-American culture). In any event, this is an interesting instance of this.
