An illegal radio station with a really cool program – Rocco, age 16, is fascinated. He goes from being a fan to becoming a member of the crew, gets his own show and not only finds friends, but also his true love. Rocco sure wasn’t happy about moving from Munich to Berlin – he hates the new situation in the strange city, without friends and no girlfriend. His wealthy, success-oriented parents and his brother, a drug addict, do little to offer him help in getting settled – nor do his new classmates. But then he hears them for the first time: the voices of John, Anna, Mika, Bert and Ramona, the voices of Radio Gaga. They broadcast a crazy program, free and uncensored directly from a captured guard tower on the old death zone. Rocco wants to, no, has to meet the crew, especially Ramona with her awesome talk show. And he manages to: Soon he becomes a member of the Radio Gaga crew, gets his own show and can be near Ramona all the time – the best time of his life begins. However, the radio station’s days are numbered, a complex for government workers is to be put up on the property. Hundreds of fans come to camp out with tents and sleeping bags to protect the tower, and a kind of miniature Woodstock is born.
