Wow I don't know where to start, although he really was one. Made in the 90's, but set in the 70's young Beni falls for Fogi, the lead singer in a band. By today's standards Beni would be a stalker, but back then sure, why not and they get together. It goes downhill fast and even at the end when Beni is finally free he's still messed up in the head about Fogi.
