Overview
Achim Bornhak's movie focuses on the restless life of Uschi Obermaier, the icon of the 1968 movement in Germany and groupie. At the age of 16, Uschi is bored by her job in a photo lab, but soon becomes the "it girl" of Munich's club scene. When she gets to know Rainer Langhans, they move to Berlin and live in "Kommune 1", the first politically-motivated commune in Germany. While the other occupants claim she isn't political enough, Uschi just wants to have fun, works as fashion model and leads international music stars in temptation.

The triangle has always been a fairly underrated instrument. It never reached higher than second fiddle or more precise: It just reached triangle. Then came a hero we didn’t know we deserve. A hero that single-handedly revolutionised the whole music industry – nay the world! A man responsible for what the triangled metal stick is today: rock’n’roll. But rock’n’roll changes you. The rise and fall of a triangle soloist. The Rise and Fall of Richie Myles.
