Long métrage documentaire sur l’écrivain Malcolm Lowry. Aux prises avec ses démons, ses cauchemars, ses fantasmes, obsédé par le suicide d’un de ses amis, Lowry vécut une longue agonie d’alcoolique. Ce qui ne l’empêcha pas de livrer au monde des pages qui le situent parmi les plus grands écrivains du 20e siècle. Des gens qui l’ont bien connu témoignent du voyage aux enfers de cet homme, dont l’âme fut errance, le corps embarras et l’œuvre génialité.
