The genius jazz singer Amy died young. When his talent became a tool and was squeezed unlimitedly, when he was caught in drugs and alcohol and was unable to extricate himself from self-anaesthesia and depravity, the genius Amy’s ordinary spirit and body could not bear these blows. Dreaming of returning home in his jazz music. The film takes all kinds of influences in front of her plus interviews with friends, colleagues, and relatives, restores and decrypts the short life of this legendary jazz singer, and arouses heavy thoughts.

Yasiin Bey: I became aware of Amy in 2004. I'm a big jazz fan and I really liked what she was doing. I thought it was unique, I thought it was edgy. And sincere. And that's the thing I like most about Amy. She didn't have any airs. She was real... She was just a charming, sweet lady. I had a bit of a crush on her, to be honest. She was raw, she was fast with a blue joke, could drink anybody under the table, wasn't afraid to roll a smoke. Had a big, giant laugh, and was just a sweetheart, you know?

Amy Winehouse: Success to me is not success to the record company or whoever. Success to me is having the freedom to work with whoever I want to work with, to always be able to go to the studio when I have to go to the studio... I think the more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes. So leave me alone and I'll do it. I will do the music. I just need time to do the music.
