The fact that Paul Bowles is less known than other writers of his generation, such as William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg or Jack Kerouac, is due probably to the fact that, after a nomad life at the beginning of the 50s, the author, not a real fan of public life, decided to settle down in Tangier. Away from the madding crowd of the literary world, the city became home for Paul and his wife Jane, who was lesbian. The ascetic vision of Bowles about the human race and psyche, as well as the rejection to subscribe to the spirit of the time, made him to stand out from writers of the beat generation. The documentary, based on emotional interviews before his death, goes into life and work of this fascinating and complex personality, his marriage —both bizarre and faithful— and, of course, into the legendary and glamorous Tangier. With anecdotes and commentaries form his contemporaries, such as the brilliant Gore Vidal, it offers a multifaceted portrait of the radical life of a visionary.
