Fifty-six-year-old Terry Papadinas lives in Thessaloniki, Greece, is a musician and is desperately seeking a job. Raised in NewYork during the 60s, he became a star of the indie rock scene upon his return to seventies Greece. A charming, charismatic man, he became an icon and a representative of rock subculture, so often typified by reactionary self-destruction. Today, a recluse living on the fringes of society, Papadinas bears his soul to the camera and reveals a state of mind that reflects a wider societal phenomenon. This is the story of a life lived by the values of rock mythology; a unique journey through the songs of a forgotten artist, painfully seeking recognition and salvation.
