In the 50s, when he was still a teenager, Herzog shared an apartment with Klaus Kinski, an egocentric maniac of an actor. During an outburst of blind rage, Kinski destroyed all the furniture in the apartment in less than two days; but out of that chaos, a long-lasting working relationship and friendship were born. In this personal documentary, the director recalls the highs, the lows and the heated quarrels that marked his relationship with Kinski, returning to the very apartment in Munich where they first met and revisiting all the places where they made their films.
