From acclaimed director Wim Wenders comes the story of Finn, an internationally renowned photographer whose pictures appear in museums and magazines all over the world. His lifestyle is exuberant – he is a rock star of the art world. But Finn knows that something is missing from his life. On a photoshoot in Palermo, Finn experiences a surreal journey through hell as his life merges with his art and he ends up in the gutter. Then an angel enters his life in the person of Flavia, a mysterious and beautiful woman. Flavia saves Finn’s life and helps him to confront every artist’s ultimate enemy… Death himself.
