With his unmistakable melodic style, Hans-Jürgen Buchner, alias Haindling, is a cult figure in Bavaria and beyond. The film "Haindling" will now - on his 70th birthday in December 2014 - be the first cinema documentary about this outstanding musician. Hans-Jürgen Buchner grants exclusive access to his home in Lower Bavaria: we not only experience him privately and intimately composing in the studio, but also get to know the person behind the artist. Unpublished songs and exclusive film footage of his tours in China paint a portrait of a fascinating and profound man - always humorous and entertaining.
