Through rare archives and intimate interviews, the film reveals how his deepest personal traumas directly shaped his musical masterpieces. It captures a man of intense conviction, highlighting his conscientious objection that led to a prison sentence in 1943. It openly discusses his homosexuality during a time when it was illegal, and the Jungian therapy that helped him embrace his inner darkness to create radiant works like A Child of Our Time.
