It started in 1989 in the underground subculture of Berlin with an idea shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall and was to become an event that influenced a whole generation and represented their attitude towards life. Under the motto "Peace, Joy, Pancakes" the club DJ Dr. Motte, together with friends and companions, held the first Love Parade as a political demonstration on which colorfully dressed people danced to techno and house music. The strange procession with only 150 people developed in the following years to the largest party event on the planet with visitors from all over the world. In 1999, 1.5 million people took part. With the help of interviews with important organizers and contemporary witnesses, the documentation reflects the history of the Love Parade, but also illuminates the dark side of how commerce and money business increasingly destroyed the real spirit, long before the emigration to other cities and the Love Parade disaster of Duisburg in 2010, which caused an era to end in deep grief.
