The film tracks chronologically through Morrison's life, emphasizing the connections between his life and writing. It follows Morrison as he moves from a shy and sometimes depressed teenager, through his years as a comic book rock star in the 1990s, and ultimately to a happy and well adjusted life as he looks to the future.

Actors Moustapha Alassane

Moustapha Alassane is a living legend in African cinema. His adventures take us to the era of “pre-cinema”, to the times of magical lantern and Chinese shadows. He is the first director of Nigerien cinema and animation films in Africa. He tells very old stories with current technology, but he also narrates the most current events with the most archaic means. This documentary not only tells the adventure of a human being and an extraordinary professional, but the memories of a generation, the history of a country, Niger, in its golden age of cinema.
