Film Synopsis

In this film based on an autobiographical book by the actor Richard Bohringer, a disillusioned man in his sixties gets to live his dream, to travel freely and without aim across France, Canada and Africa, accompanied by those who are closest to him.  Richard is a man who has lived a full life and has enjoyed a successful career as an actor and musician, although he has needed the support of drugs and alcohol to see him through.  Despite this, he still wonders who he is and what he is doing with his life.  Included in his entourage is a young writer named Paulo who feels impelled to follow the ageing musician and share his experiences.  Together, both men finally begin to discover who they are and where they are heading...
