Verschwende Deine Jugend<br />
PLAY IT LOUD!<br />
Everything is cool: the neon-colored dresses, the<br />
cheeky looks and most of all – the music. It’s the<br />
1980s and New Wave Music roller-coasters its way<br />
across Europe. And Harry, 19, wants to be part of it.<br />
Nobody would call his job as a bank clerk ”cool“, but<br />
his friends certainly are. Vince, Melitta and Freddie are<br />
musicians – managing their band ”Apollo Schwabing“<br />
is supposed to be Harry’s stairway to his dreams.<br />
But becoming a successful ”cool“ music manager is<br />
not easy at all – soon Harry is confronted with a total<br />
disaster – losing his girlfriend, losing his job, and losing<br />
his friendship with the ”Apollos“ … In this hilarious<br />
coming-of-age-comedy, Harry learns that putting<br />
everything at risk is the only way to win: Play it<br />
Loud! – waste your youth and have fun doing it!<br />
