Wir waren niemals hier
We Never Were Here
The band “Mutter” is something of a phenomenon. Their music is, by turns,
loud and brutish and tender and transient – a style that has caused both their audiences as well as a string of producers
to take to their heels. And yet, although the band’s highly distinctive sound has been making a mark on the German music scene
for the past 18 years, fame has somehow eluded the band itself, for “Mutter” defies all attempts at pigeonholing. The film
accompanies the band on a tour through Germany and Switzerland, interweaving private Super8 images with the band‘s history
and the musicians‘ unusual biographies.
