"In 1983, the counter culture icon and author of the cult classic Naked lunch (1959), William S. Burroughs (1914-1997), traveled throughout the Scandinavian countries making a series of personal apperances. Twenty years later filmmakers Lars Movin and Steen Møller Rasmussen found never-before-seen footage of his Copenhagen visit and set out on the road to record new material, telling the story of the ... author's later work -- especially what is known as The Last Trilogy -- and his unique performance skills..."--Container.
