The Rise and Fall of Diesel Wilmington

The Rise and Fall of Diesel Wilmington 2023 Directed by Manuel Liebscher

Köln, 1969. After his gig, guitar and songwriting God, Diesel Wilmington, meets Helmuth in his dressing room: Diesel fan body and soul.

Germany, 1969: Retreating to his change room after a rather fabulous gig, British guitar- and song-writing-god Diesel Wilmington encounters Helmuth: Diesel-fan by trade. The unlikely pair - despite the barrier of language - engages in a rather odd conversation about the proper reading and origin of Diesel’s ingenious lines. It begins to dawn on Helmuth that his imaginations may have been somewhat highly-strung, as a stranger walks in; exposing the original mastermind as an overambitious double. What does this make of the autograph Helmuth was so eager to get?
