Grace Jones is one of the last birds of paradise to populate the world's stages. Even at almost 70 years of age, she is by no means yesterday's news, but still a star bursting with energy. Director Sophie Fiennes has accompanied the extravagant diva with her camera again and again over several years. She has filmed her spectacular stage show, but also private things like family visits in Jamaica, where Jones has her roots. But she does not work up a biography, but without contemporary witnesses and archive material, the very present picture of a fascinating artist emerges.
