Simon Görts started his acting career with a bang, playing the lead in the award-winning film “Oi! Warning”. Much to his disappointment, the big roles, success and fame did not follow. After years of knock-backs, Simon decides to leave Hamburg to try and become a star in Hollywood. The camera follows him on his quixotic quest through the USA, from coast to coast and desert to beach and at all the parties in between. Simon is loud but likeable: a chancer looking for a way into the business.
