Although his career as a rock music critic begins to decline, and especially Bernardo, with his problems, does not know how to publish a book on the secrets of the singer Jimi Hendrix. In the meantime he knows the problematic and shy Camilla, who disrupts his life. After some bickering, the two travel to London to meet almost unknown people who believe knowing how to really the singer Hendrix died when he was found lifeless in his hotel.
