The film follows the creation of sculptor Hans Pauli Olsen's biggest sculpture so far. We take part in the process when the artist is working in his backyard studio together with his young nude model. We are the fly on the wall, when the artist forgets about the camera and exists only for creating his art with his bare hands. And we experience the contrast between art as subtile, exhibited works in distinguished halls of art and as a simple lump of clay in a dirty garage.

Ami d’Andy Warhol, de Grace Jones, de Madonna et de Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring est l’enfant prodige du pop-art. Son style épuré et son tracé inimitable, qui puisent leurs origines dans la bande dessinée et les graffitis, lui ont valu un succès instantané et planétaire. Dans ce film fort et émouvant, ses amis et complices de toujours retracent le parcours personnel et artistique hors du commun de ce petit prince de la rue, disparu trop tôt en 1991.
