World-famous, shrouded in legend, legendary: Hamburg's port district of St. Pauli is a sinful mile, a red-light district, a place of refuge for gangsters and the stranded at the same time, but also the starting point for worldwide musical successes such as the Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. As if through a prism of German contemporary history, the documentary series anecdotally sketches the life stories of prominent and unknown St. Paulians on the basis of the most well-known streets in the district. With exclusive archive material and visually appealing insights into subculture and rebellion, a lively chronicle and portrait of the customs of one of the most fascinating places in the world is created.
