Katrine Boorman, l’une des quatre enfants issus du premier mariage de John Boorman avec la costumière allemande Christel Kruse, retrouve apparemment son père après la séparation de celui-ci avec sa seconde épouse. Katrine interroge John Boorman sur ses souvenirs de cinéma, sa conception du métier et sur sa vie familiale. Le tournage s’étant effectué durant plusieurs années, le cinéaste apparaît sous différents jours, tantôt sérieux et docte, puis drôle et taquin, et enfin émouvant lorsqu’il se remémore sa relation avec Telsche, « sa fille préférée » disparue. Katrine, les jumeaux Charley et Daisy, chacun vient témoigner, soit à propos de ses prestations dans les films du père ou de ses rapports personnels. Christel Kruse-Boorman apporte sa contribution en louant notamment « l’intelligence » de Lee Marvin, acteur du Point de non-retour qui expédia par la fenêtre le premier (mauvais) scénario du film pour donner carte blanche à John Boorman. Katrine a filmé le cinéaste à Londres ainsi que sans sa propriété irlandaise, puis à Paris où père et fille fleurissent la tombe de Telsche au cimetière de Montmartre.
