La ventitreenne cameriera Janet Livermore si è innamorata di Cliff Poncier (membro di un piccolo gruppo rock di non largo successo), mentre prima era stata la ragazza di Steve, del quale è però restata sincera amica. Altri, come un impiegato d'albergo e la rossa Debbie Hunt, si rimettono al caso (o lei a videotape di forte effetto), per trovare la compagnia che gli occorre.

Sulla strada per Seattle i due ragazzi incontrano Cassie, una donna bellissima e pericolosa che decide di unirsi a loro.

Nirvana's groundbreaking 1991 album NEVERMIND raised the Seattle trio to the status of Godhead, forever changing the face of the pop music market. "Here we are now, entertain us" may have come and gone as a catch-phrase, but as an insight into a generation's bitterly restless tide, it ranks right up there with "I can't get no satisfaction." Part of the CLASSIC ALBUMS series, this release sheds new light on the production and legacy of NEVERMIND through revealing interviews with industry insiders. With unprecedented openness, remaining band members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl discuss the production of individual songs, and tell amusing anecdotes about the band's financial struggles just before making it big. In addition, NEVERMIND producer Butch Vig invites viewers into his studio, where he dissects and examines each of the album's tracks. By isolating, examining, and reassembling each instrument and vocal track, Vig is able to recreate the manner in which the album was produced.

An extension of punk and the fury of the 70s, Grunge was built on the impossibility of living in this world without transforming it. On a categorical refusal to collaborate and the need to create your own rules. The subculture as a refuge. Grunge was a secret movement, a piracy that should never have become popular. A bubble whose epilogue was played out in 3 years, between 1991 and 1994. What happened to this rage?
