Approaching age 50, singer/songwriter Nico leads a solitary existence, far from her days as a Warhol superstar and celebrated vocalist for the Velvet Underground in the 1960s. Her life and career on the fringes, Nico's new manager convinces her to hit the road again and tour in Europe to promote her latest album. She longs to rebuild a relationship with her son, whose custody she lost long ago.

VIBE

A hauntingly raw portrait of a rock icon's twilight years. It's a gritty, introspective journey through regret and the desperate search for connection, set against the backdrop of a fading European tour. Feels like a smoky, late-night dive bar confession.
