Nick Cave

For several years Tino Hanekamp lives in the deep south of Mexico. When he gets a chance to meet singer and writer Nick Cave in Mexico City, he hesitates. Because 15 years ago, there was an encounter that he´d rather forget. But he sets off, together with his girlfriend, who knows nothing about his idol. An adventurous but true story about one of the greatest songwriters of our time, about art and creativity, grief, love and the power of transformation.

“A true love story that gives deep insights into the soul life of a fan, but which has not been disenchanted, on the contrary.” (der kultur-blog)
