Following his successful 2024 tour, pop star Matthias Reim will once again set standards in the summer of 2025 with the "Best of LIVE Open Air 2025" tour. He has been thrilling audiences with his hits for 35 years. Even today, songs like "Verdammt, ich lieb' dich" (Damn, I Love You) still put fans of all ages in a celebratory mood. The diversity of his fan base speaks for itself. His timeless melodies and unforgettable hits will continue to be present in the future and remain an integral part of the pop music landscape.

The life of the pop artist wasn't always as successful as it is today. Rather, it was more like a wild roller coaster ride. Before becoming a pop singer himself, he wrote songs as a songwriter for stars such as Bernhard Brink, Tina York, and Jürgen Drews. Then came his dramatic financial downfall. A setback from which not everyone would have recovered so quickly. It is all the more impressive that Matthias Reim managed to fight his way back into the music business – and with great success. The music documentary comprehensively explores his life, from his humble beginnings to the high points of his career. His turbulent love life is also not neglected. Today, he has found the love of his life, Christin Stark.

Among those present are his wife Christin Stark, pop titan and friend Bernhard Brink, presenter and ex-girlfriend Kim Fisher, Sony SVP Markus Hartmann, Sarah Bora, singer and wife of Eko Fresh, as well as Matthias' musicians and bandmates.
