"Art is for everyone!" this is how Keith Haring put it when he summed up the meaning of his stylized silhouettes with which he decorated streets all over the world. A veritable social phenomen who revolutionized contemporary art over the space of a single decade (1980-1990), Haring is brought back to life in this documentary's multifaceted reconstruction of his rise, starting from his childhood. A thoroughly exploration of the background and the career of one of the most popular and significant artists of the contemporary artistic imagination.
