Few recording studios can claim to have hosted the simply incredible list of musicians that found their way into Hansa Studios and none offered the unique environment this studio complex, standing virtually alone in the wasteland of West Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, near Berlin Wall. It was a studio at the very edge of the western world. Here David Bowie immortalized the same wall in Heroes. With unprecedented access to the artists, as well as the studios and its evocative archive, the film tells the story of how the studio, previously famous for being only a domestic German pop hit factory, came to define a European sound for a whole generation of musicians.
