A collage portraying William S. Burroughs, one of the most influential writers of modern writing, that combines excerpts of a lecture in Berlin with early experimental films with Brion Gysin, paintings and interviews. Burroughs talks about language as a means and as a weapon, about his method of cut-ups and fold-ins, about language as a virus, as death and trauma, about journeys into time and space... topping it all by singing a song.
