Young@Heart, a chorus of twenty-two senior citizens with an average age of eighty, is directed by a frequently demanding Bob Cilman. In preparation for a concert in their hometown of Northampton, Massachusetts, they spend two months learning new material ranging from James Brown to the Pointer Sisters to The Clash and Sonic Youth, a task that's daunting for them and frequently frustrating for Cilman. At one point they take a break to visit a nearby low-security prison and entertain the inmates, who literally and figuratively embrace them after they perform. The group's determination to succeed increases with the passing of two of their members in rapid succession, and the concert proves to be a major success with the community.

Le portrait croisé, filmé sur sept ans, de deux groupes de pop psychédélique aux destins divergents : The Dandy Warhols et The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Proches au début, les deux groupes deviennent peu à peu rivaux, les premiers obtiennent le succès et les seconds passent leur temps à saboter leur carrière. En revanche, si c'est le leader des Dandy Warhols qui se prête au jeu, comme narrateur en voix off, c'est plutôt le groupe d'Anton Newcombe, leader charismatique et cyclothymique du B.J.M, qui est valorisé dans le film, à la fois pour son incroyable productivité (en 1996 le groupe sort trois albums autoproduits) et pour ses frasques à répétition - violentes bagarres sur scènes, conflits d'ego à répétition, problèmes de drogue...
