Synopsis
A portrait of Rolf Eden, Germany's last playboy; he is "the German Hugh Hefner." In his younger days, Eden was running a string of night clubs and discotheques around West Berlin. He organized the first beauty contests and made striptease popular in prudish West Germany. He celebrated with Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra, and danced with Ella Fitzgerald. He appeared in more than thirty films. And he has seven children with seven different women. To this day, Eden is still breaking sexual taboos and continues to be a popular topic in Berlin's tabloids by doing such provocative things as having five young blond lovers at the age of 78. An overview of his life--from the beginnings in Israel to his life as an icon of night club culture.
