Synopsis

The story of Karol Duchoň begins during the filming of a New Year’s Eve programme on television in 1984, and a man who not long ago had the world at his feet has his whole life flash before his eyes in just one night. We see a boy from the country being given the opportunity to play in Western clubs, and becoming a true pop icon of the era.

But his huge success is also beginning to awaken his inner demons…
