Summaries

Storyline

The film set around the true story of the notorious scandal involving dancers Robert Pilatus' and Fabrice Morvan's rise to fame in the late 1980s as pop sensation Milli Vanilli. Orchestrated it in Germany by the music producer Frank Farian, they became global stars with three No. 1 hits in the USA. But only a small circle of insiders knew that the duo was not singing but lip syncing to the voices of two other artists, John Davis and Brad Howell . At the height of their fame, Milli Vanilli won the Grammy Award but the situation behind the scenes escalated and the pressure on Pilatus and Morvan grew not only in their confrontation against Farian to sing using their own voices, but the excesses of fame and the Pilatus' drug addiction. When the truth was finally revealed, they went into the abyss while the world witnessed one of the biggest scandals in music history. Trying to find their own place in music and claiming to be true singers, Pilatus and Morvan's friendship is put in danger while their fame turns in infamy and in a con that their fans cannot forgive. — Chockys
