Synopsis
Disco 76 (Disko 76, 2024) is a German period drama you can watch online on iFILM. The year is 1976, the place a coal-mining town in the Ruhr. As the disco craze finally reaches Bochum, glitter and freedom run straight into a grey, conservative world.
Young Doro is suffocating in a loveless marriage and finds her escape on the dance floor. It isn't only the music that pulls her in — there's Robert, a charismatic dancer, too. With her brother Georg she secretly opens a club, and a double life begins: drab days, mirror-ball nights. Self-expression on one side, small-town propriety on the other.
Directors Lars Montag and Florian Knittel rebuild the seventies down to the flares, the beats, and a restlessness that still unsettled the provinces. At heart it's about how music hands a person the right to be themselves. One for fans of retro drama and that era's soundtrack. Stream Disco 76 (2024) online on iFILM.
