[1] The full 87-minute documentary begins in a small Otago town where Direen is preparing for the tour, leading to interviews at radio stations and live performances in cafés, music foundations, libraries and a children's school.
Ogston invited Direen to write poems along the way, which he performed on subjects such as (and in locations related to) writer Janet Frame, composer Douglas Lilburn and poet James K.
Final interviews with Kiran Dass and with Ogston himself reveal something of Direen's approach to poetry and music.
[3] The film ends with an extract from his novel Song of the Brakeman and a tune from a rare vinyl LP of 1987.
A double vinyl LP of all tracks that feature in the film was released in 2019 by USA label Sophomore Lounge.
