KÖLN 75 tells the captivating and true story of the rebellious 18-year-old Vera Brandes (Mala Emde), who confidently and passionately puts everything on the line to realise her dream. Against the wishes of her conservative parents, she books the Cologne Opera House at her own risk to bring Keith Jarrett (John Magaro) to Cologne for a concert in January 1975. She doesn't know it yet, but this improvised piano lesson, which threatens to fail until the very end, is immortalised on record and regarded by many as one of the most popular works of art of the 20th century: Keith Jarrett's ‘The Köln Concert’. With over 4 million copies sold, ‘The Köln Concert’ became the most successful solo jazz release of all time. Director and writer Ido Fluk (THE TICKET) was inspired by the true events for KÖLN 75 and tells the incredible story behind it. Vera Brandes, a young, determined and emancipated woman who asserts herself in a male-dominated society, takes centre stage. Mala Emde (AND TOMORROW THE WHOLE WORLD) brilliantly embodies her as a passionate music lover and rebel who unwaveringly goes her own way in the turbulent seventies. She is joined by John Magaro (PAST LIVES, SEPTEMBER 5) as Keith Jarrett and the German stars Alexander Scheer, Ulrich Tukur, Jördis Triebel and Susanne Wolff.
