Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The documentary followed the rap group for a year (in 1998), from rehearsals at the Pee Wee studio in Aubervilliers, the beginning of their tour in La Réunion, through Lorient, Nantes, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nancy, to the Zénith in Paris. The documentary also explores Joeystarr's legal troubles, life within the group, issues with the media, ... In cross-cut and intimate interviews, Joeystarr and Kool Shen reflect on the significant events of this entire journey. They discuss their shared experiences, their "couple life," the emergence of their collectives, B.O.S.S. (the start of the Skyboss show on Skyrock) and IV My People, and the possible future or the end of NTM.
