Synopsis
Anton (18) and his two younger friends Basti and Jonas found the band 1000 Robota, and only a few months later they can close a deal with a small record label.'We want to cause creation not to remind of it' is their aim, and they want to live up to their ideals. In a society affected by economic pressure 1000 Robota are looking for significance. But soon they are having strong arguments with the record label about the sound and if their music is saleable. Even though the press is packed with articles about the band, sold-out concerts are wishful thinking and the band can hardly afford to pay a hostel. They have to awake to the fact that it is hard to meet their record company‘s expectations and live up to their own dreams. Are their ideals simply objects of nostalgia? UTOPIA Ltd. gives a taste of the circumstances under which art is created in a time where the omnipresence of stylized self-manifestation has nearly absorbed subcultural ways of distinction.
