“Girl You Know It’s True is centered around the true story of the notorious scandal involving dancers Robert Pilatus’ (Tijan Njie) and Fabrice Morvan’s (Elan Ben) rise to fame in the late 1980s as “Milli Vanilli.” Orchestrated by music producer Frank Farian (Matthias Schweighofer), they became global stars with three No. 1 hits in the U.S.. But only a small circle of insiders know that the duo was not actually singing but rather lip-syncing to the voices of two other artists. At the height of their fame, Milli Vanilli won a Grammy Award, but the situation behind the scenes escalated, and the pressure on Rob and Fab grew. When the truth is revealed, they found themselves engulfed in one of the biggest scandals in music history,” says the synopsis.
