The documentary follows Ben Wallers’s journey from promising pupil of one of the most exclusive schools in England to eccentric underground musician and politically incorrect, provocative lyricist: the beginnings with country-post-punk band Country Teasers in early 90s Edinburgh, the meeting with first label Crypt Records, a crazy European tour with Memphis garage-punk band the Oblivians, the relationship with his idols -Welsh band Datblygu – and his solo career as the Rebel.The film is a humorous look at the 90s alternative music scene and a reflection on life choices, art and freedom.
