SYNOPSIS
Between subculture and mainstream: poetry slams, the on-stage, live contest between young poets, are becoming increasingly popular in Germany. The German championships represent the highlight of the year – it’s the biggest festival for on-stage literature in Europe. RHYMERS AND RIVALS accompanies four young stars on the scene during their performances and tours, and documents unusual literary passions.
