Sinopsis
Herzog wanted to document his crazy relationship with actor Klaus Kinski while they were still working together, but decided it was better to wait until the storm had passed; this ended up being once Kinski had died. Herzog claims they complemented each other; Kinski would never admit it. They made five feature films together and this film explores their love/hate relationship.
