In 1982, he ran away to Germany and received support from Joseph Beuys, before spending 6 months in prison. 2020, back in Zurich, he sprays more than 50 Dance of Death graffiti during the Covid-19 lockdown in Zürich. Naegeli ist now 82 years old and has terminal cancer. This film is an hommage to a great utopian.
