Teenager Simone appears to be like any other young pop fan. But soon her fixation on her favorite band's lead singer R takes over her life.
Simone walks out of school, breaks off with her friends and parents and somehow finds herself waiting for her idol as he appears on a TV show. When she sees him in the flesh she is speechless, unable even to ask for his autograph. He reaches out to touch her. Overcome with emotion, Simone faints; with that first touch, R's fate is sealed.
A treasured bit of German underground cinema from 1982, Der Fan is a slow burner that builds to a shocking climax.
