the singer-songwriter, approaching 50, leading a solitary existence in
Manchester, far from her 60s glam days as a Warhol superstar and celebrated
vocalist for cult band The Velvet Underground. Her life and career on the
fringes, Nico's new manager Richard convinces her to hit the road again and
tour Europe to promote her latest album. Struggling with her demons and the
consequences of a muddled life, she longs to rebuild a relationship with her
son, whose custody she lost long ago. A brave and uncompromising musician,
Nico's story is the story of a rebirth: of an artist, a mother, and the woman.
