Did you know? The film's title, "Flieg steil," is a German punk slang phrase roughly meaning "fly high" or "go wild," and director Anna Schäfer cast actual members of the Berlin punk and queer scenes as extras to ensure authentic clashes between the film's subcultures.
Why Watch: "Flieg steil" is a raw, electrifying drama that flips the script on redemption, following a right-wing musician who sabotages her own career with queer and feminist themes—only to team up with a punk outsider for a chaotic showdown. It’s a must-watch for fans of gritty, character-driven conflict, blending subversive humor with a visceral fight for identity that keeps you guessing until the final punch. If you crave stories that challenge loyalty, genre, and the cost of belonging, this film delivers a knockout.
Konnie, once a celebrated figure in the right-wing music world, sees her status crumble after weaving feminist and queer themes into her songs. Desperate to reclaim her place, she teams up with Rudi, a rebellious punk outsider planning to strike a Nazi bar. Together, they spiral into a fierce clash over identity and acceptance—only one will remain on their feet.
