Cheyenne is a fifty-year-old former rock star, who still dresses “Goth” and lives in Dublin off his royalties. When his father—with whom he wasn’t on speaking terms—dies, Cheyenne discovers his obsession to seek revenge for a humiliation of his past, and decides to pick up where his father left off.

Après quatre films en Italie, le réalisateur Paolo Sorrentino (La grande bellezza) part pour Dublin en Irlande – puis New York- pour son drôle de premier film en anglais. Avec un Sean Pean étrange et palpitant, et une apparition éclair du sublime David Byrne des Talking Heads.
