A portrait of Andy Warhol and his New York circle which presents itself in thoroughly experimental style, flickering and scratchy - undoubtedly contaminated by the spirit of the "good old days" of experimental film. Many of the "contaminated ones" from those days appear here: Jonas Mekas, Paul Morrissey, John Giorno, Sterling Morrison, and above all John Cale, who's also represen-ted with several songs. Their encounters with Warhol, life as art and art from the "Factory," film art produced in sleep. Many of them seem to have lost something, a source of fields: the man whose death left a big vacuum.
