Rickerl - Musik is höchstens a Hobby
The street musician Erich "Rickerl" Bohacek lives on the poverty line, and sometimes below it. He doesn't want to give up his idealistic dream of a big breakthrough as a musician, but his financial situation and the responsibility for his beloved eight-year-old son, whom he is allowed to see regularly, occasionally force him to take on odd jobs – including working as a gravedigger. Meanwhile, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his son leads a contrasting, bourgeois life with her new partner, creating additional tension. Eventually, Rickerl must face his challenges and finds a way to overcome them in his own unique way.
