Nick Cave is one of the most successful artists of our time. But in addition to his career as a musician, the Australian is active in countless other fields of art. The film project portrays the 24 hours of the 20,000th day in Cave's life, mixing fictional events with documentary footage. Among other things, a psychoanalyst talks with Cave and tries to get to the bottom of his essence and explore the act of his artistic creation. What does it mean for a life to be continuously in a creative process? What happens off the stages of this world? How does a person become who they are and what does a life even consist of? Nick Cave also discusses these existential questions with his friends Blixa Bargeld, Kylie Minogue and many others, taking the viewer on a very special journey into his soul and music.
