It is well known that Rainer Werner Fassbinder was the "enfant terrible" of world cinema, as it is also well known that he was also terrible, but in his interactions with others. In this biographical journey we meet him at the age of 22, at the Anti-Teatro in Munich. From his guerrilla shootings to his international success, we follow him until his death at 37, in 1982, with 39 films under his belt and a trail of actresses, collaborators and lovers overwhelmed by his excessive personality, in a close look at a genius as well as a tormented and explosive soul. (Seville European Film Festival)
