style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>SYNOPSIS<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moving biography of the German pop singer Renate Kern gathers up the threads of this documentary: on the one hand the rising and the failure as a popstar, on the other hand the search for a fragile identity coming to an end with committing suicide in 1991. In between&#8230; the film speaks about living in Germany from 1965 to 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The documentary tells the biography of the once well known German pop singer Renate Kern: how she was discovered in the 60\u00b4s and how she was built up to the &#8222;Queen of the Provinces&#8220;, a label she could never get rid of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 70\u00b4s her star did not shine that bright anymore and she withdrew from the &#8222;pop circus&#8220;, searching a long time for a &#8222;new identity&#8220;. Almost secretly she turned into the blond &#8222;Nancy Wood&#8220; and re-emerged as a country singer selling the old dreams in a new outfit. But her &#8222;true identity&#8220; seemed to be more and more a fatal one, as she was not able to reach the things her songs were about: love and happiness, hope and comfort. In 1991 she committed suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film gets closer to Renate Kern&#8217;s fans, their hopes and the world of &#8222;Schlager&#8220; and &#8222;Country&#8220;, the music, that sells dreams for a far away &#8222;better tomorrow&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"credits\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
