Synopsis
Roman Geike, better known as MC Ramon and later Romano, spends the day roaming his Berlin neighborhood with theatrical confidence. He greets locals, charms women, pauses for coffee and cake, visits a nail salon, and revisits memories of his former television appearances. The relaxed neighborhood portrait gradually becomes stranger and more flamboyant, matching Siriusmo's playful electronic production. As "Itchy" gives way to the more hip-hop-driven "Cornerboy," Ramon moves from casual self-display to a full rap performance for his friends.
