The life of Irmin Schmidt — founder of the mythical German krautrock band CAN, which includes an early career as a conductor and a connection to Karlheinz Stockhausen, and then countless compositions for film soundtracks (such as Palermo Shooting, by Wim Wenders) and an opera, Gormenghast — is told in an intimate and humorous way, filled with archival footage that illustrate his life, philosophy and the dynamics of the band.
