Is a Bastard or Fögi Is a Bastard, released in German as De Fögi isch en Souhund)[1] is a 1998 French/Swiss film based upon the novel of the same name by Martin Frank. It was filmed in Zürich, Switzerland. The setting is the early 1970s, Zurich.

Plot summary

Beni, age 15, becomes enamoured with a singer from the rock band "The Minks", Fögi Müller, who is ten years older than him.[4] Fögi ensnares him with the perceived glamor of being a musician, takes him on as the band's 'roadie', and at the same time seduces him. Beni unquestionably follows him, including following him into drug addiction. Beni's youthful innocence is destroyed in a milieu of sex, drinking, drugs, and rock-and-roll. He ends up prostituting himself to pay for Fögi's drug habit.
