本片以溫柔筆觸描繪「垮掉一代」作家威廉・布洛斯，他在1960年代率先在作品中探討同志傾向及毒品文化等禁忌，並猛烈抨擊保守派的空洞理想，催生出風起雲湧的反文化運動。然而，他終其一生也在毒品酗酒、殺妻棄子的悲劇中搏鬥。本片收錄從未曝光過的相關影片，及同事好友的獨家採訪，透過約翰・華特斯、派蒂・史密斯、伊吉・帕普等人的眼中，帶出布洛斯顛沛流離又輝煌的人生。
Why do we write? When words erupt from the mind and pour into the heart, images and monologues take the place of daily tedium—of the mundane, the irritating, the unbearable. For some writers, however, writing is more than expression; it is salvation. It is an unshakable calling. In this themed selection on literature, Giloo presents documentaries that delve into the lives and inner worlds of writers—poets, novelists, critics—who wield pens (or typewriters) like swords, fearlessly confronting the truths of the world. The passage of time leaves behind not just pages, but marks of introspection—quiet yet undeniable badges of their creative journey.
