We Were Kings is a documentary about the legendary German grunge band Union Youth. 15 years ago they made it from the province to L.A., and then failed in the most brutal way. Now attempting a comeback as the band "Pictures" with some new members, they face their demons in order to make music once again. A gripping musical drama about drug addiction, responsibility and the power of friendship.
The documentary follows three young Bundeswehr recruits over a period of 18 months, from the first day of basic training to their departure for deployment abroad in Afghanistan.
