He was the greatest talent of his generation. The story of a man who lived too intensely. The film story of Karol Duchoň begins during the filming of a New Year's Eve program on television in 1984, and the man, who until recently had the world at his feet, literally has his entire life pass before his eyes in one night. We see how a boy from a country band got the opportunity to play in clubs in the West and also how, after his return, thanks to a single song, he became a real pop icon of the time overnight. The most renowned composers and lyricists in Slovakia wrote for him, he won prizes at the most important competitions and many foreign tours came. However, the enormous success also begins to awaken his inner demons... And we will be able to observe all this accompanied by his greatest hits.Read moreLess
