This film is a promenade through the life and career of actor Ben Gazzara whom director Joseph Rezwin met while working on the crew of Opening Night, directed by 'John Cassavetes' back in 1977. As they walk and talk their way through the city of New York and Gazzara's past, visiting places where the actor decided to become part of the movies, spending time with some of the important people in his life, and talking about acting, art, fears and desires; but also life and death, Ben and Joe gradually get to know each other better, forming a kind of father-son relationship.
