This is a story of the creative processes of a director, screenwriter, musician and versatile artist Vinci Vogue Anžlovar.

But all this in some state of conflict – clashes with producers, slapping a minister, breaking the jaw of an actor, fits of rage, anxiety, drugs, gambling, divorces, poverty, wealth, depression, rehab...
