In the 1950s, when Herzog was 13 years old, he was sharing an apartment with Klaus Kinski, an egomaniacal artist. From the chaos a beautiful albeit volatile partnership was born. In 1972, Herzog cast Kinski in Aguirre. Four more films would follow. Herzog traces the often violent up and downs of their relationship, revisiting Munich apartment where they first met — and thrashed, and the various locations of their films.
