Paparazzi, screaming fans and in the middle of it, at first glance, 2 completely different Stars: The "Tokio Hotel" frontman and the fashion designer, who both count to Germany's most successful exports,They have never met before but get along with each other right from the start.
The evening spent together starts in the showroom of Wolfgang Joops label "wunderkind", where Bill Kaulitz willingly tries on clothes from Joops collection right away.
Kaulitz admits, he would love to design a collection of his own, is amazed by the new ideas of Joop.
After this they go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Bill Kaulitz has already performed in front of the Parisian landmark with "Tokio Hotel" in front of half a million people, but has never been to the top of the tower until tonight.
A visit to the Palace Beauharnais follows.
This is where you will find the German embassy, where Wagner and Bismarck have resided.
Joop and Kaulitz express that they are really touched by the napoleonistic empire style.
In Café de Flore they talk about serious themes, like the curse of the internet and the growing shortage of respect for art and culture.
Bill tells that from the last Tokio Hotel album a big part of the songs were already leaked to the internet.
No wonder that the anticipation for new records has generally drops.
Before they go on, Joop quickly takes paper and pencil to draw a portrait of the singer.
Eventhough Bill has been happy that this trip to Paris was unannounced to avoid all the usual hype, it has not helped. when they leave the Café de Flore, they have resourceful paparazzis waiting for them.
Also the fans have taken notice of this visit, they plaster the internet with pictures of Kaulitz and Joop during their nightly walk and even bring twitter to a halt.
On the Pont des Arts Joop and Kaulitz quickly agree: paparazzo must be a terrible profession.
Finally the night ends at a Fashion-Masked ball, which reminds of the Kubrick film: "Eyes Wide Shut", where the two nighthawks forget the time..
The next morning they meet again at the "Wunderkind" Fashion show.
They exchanged telephone numbers, would like to see each other again and think, according to Wolfgang Joop, that they are twins, separated at birth.
"Through the night" as a big show.
But it also is about the fear of growing old, the constant reinventing of yourself and having to look good all the time.
Bill Kaulitz and Wolfgang Joop are two perfectionists, who are aware that they are control freaks, and who have to recognize once again this night, how they have to try to control it.
The recording of the new episode of the Arte-series "Through the Night with", caused a riot in Paris.
Eventhough Liza Minelli and Fritz Wepper caused a crowd at Times Square, what happened when popstar Bill Kaulitz and fashion creator Wolfgang Joop walk around the city of love, has not happened before on Through the night.
