 A first approach to the mysteries that surrounds the suicide of singer and composer Kurt Cobain in 1994, when he was only 27-years-old. Nick Broomfield, documentary maker from the BBC, makes a tour by the most representative places that witness the rise of the young musician, giving form to a small biopic as well, since his first years in the school in his native Seattle, showing interesting material such as rare recordings of his voice when he was 2-years-old, and the first concerts with his band, Nirvana, at small sceneries. Broomfield interviews important people in Kurt s life, such as his best friend, moving step by step to the bottom line, facing up to Courtney Love s father, who wrote a book who features the theory that Kurt was in fact murdered.
