Juergen Vollmer met The Beatles 1960 in Hamburg's music club Kaiserkeller. They hung around together, Vollmer started photographing them and when they met again in Paris, The Beatles insisted to get his haircut. Narrow-minded Hamburg in the 50's and 60's made him escape to Paris. He took pictures of beatniks while having sex, moved on to New York and L.A., where he started his career as still photographer on Hollywood film sets (Juergen Vollmer: 'It was awful most of the time') and took pictures of several stars. A montage of animated sequences, interviews and original artist photos.
