Conchita - Queen of Austria

"Conchita - Queen of Austria" gives insight into the fascinating world of the polarizing artist Tom Neuwirth and accompanies you through the hard preparation time including energy-sapping studio sessions and personal contact with hard critics in the weeks before the Eurovision Song Contest. Behind the scenes, Conchita is not only a disciplined worker but also a sensitive person with tactfulness in respect of her family and dearest friends. Despite some negative reviews from the public, Conchita vigorously pursues her way to Copenhagen and takes a journey to her Styrian home town Bad Mitterndorf, Tom Neuwirth's place of childhood, where, for the first time, she meets her parents and the inhabitants as Conchita. She also visits the place where Tom already lived out his feminine side as a child. Back in Vienna, a short Danish-language course held by three young Danishmen completes the preparation for the Eurovision host country. In Copenhagen, Conchita's dream comes true: she impresses the whole world with her song "Rise Like A Phoenix" and wins the 59th Eurovision Song Contest to crown herself as the Queen of Austria!
