 In preparation for the movie, Jürgen Vogel (qv) listened to 26  different CDs by German bands. Those by Kettcar and Tomte were the  ones he liked best, so the Production Company contacted the bands  label Grand Hotel van Cleef and asked whether theyd be interested  in making a movie with Jürgen Vogel (qv). The musicians were then  told about the films rough plot and fictional singer/songwriter  Markus Hansens biography and asked to write 10 songs that fitted  both.
