Unser gelber Musikladen

Our yellow music store

Almost all small music stores in Germany have gone. But in one town, a store fights the Internet and other global changes. An owner-managed store, still breathing the spirit of the 70s, never redecorated, with (very!) old typewriters in use instead of computers.

"Our yellow music store" is a ride into history just becoming history. It's a film about a traditional store, its people and its stories. A film about those who work there, musicians, music teachers and other customers, forming a bizarre microcosm for almost half a century.

It could have been a comedy, but now real estate investors want to demolish the yellow music store to get more money out of this block. They want to build modern chain store architecture.

A story like this happens everywhere, at this exact moment. But this story is about the music store of my parents, who are 65 years old.
