The Cure are the great outsiders of pop, their singer Robert Smith probably the only rock star you can recognize by his silhouette. With his band, he has created an unmistakable world of sound. The documentary shows an apolitical band in highly political times, which created its most important work in 1989: the album “Disintegration” - only a few months before a whole world order would disintegrate with the collapse of the communist bloc in Eastern Europe. The film traces the journey of a band that continues to inspire people all over the world with their music, identity, and the power of being different.
