The life and times of Barney Wilen, the legendary jazz musician who at age eighteen was already playing with Miles Davis, and whom many called the "greatest European saxophonist". Exiled to Zanzibar in the seventies hero of Loustal's cult comic strip, Barney and the Blue Note, Wilen was as famous for his brilliant appearances as for his inexplicable disappearances. This film essay reconstitutes his rich, mysterious life even as it attempts to distinguish the man from the myth. With the participation of Laurent de Wilde, Philippe Garrel and Archie Shepp.
