Full plot (contains spoilers)

In the 1990s, Schlager star Mirko Mortauk gave an entire generation its party anthem with “Bingo.” After years of success, however, Mirko is burned out and broke. His manager, Siggi, desperately tries to revive Mirko’s career with a rap remix of his old hit. But Mirko needs a break and returns to his Bavarian hometown of Sankt Maiwald to recover. The welcome there is cool, however: Mirko’s sister Elena, his brother Goran, and his childhood sweetheart Rosa have not forgiven him for leaving everything behind in pursuit of success. Mirko does get support from his parents: his mother finds him a part-time job. He is to get the local choir ready for a singing competition and lead it to victory. The task becomes a major challenge, but it helps Mirko rediscover his love of music and reconnect with his creative roots. Through his work with the choir and renewed connections with his family and old friends, Mirko overcomes his crisis and regains his zest for life.
