Este documental ofrece una mirada íntima a la vida y obra de John Cage, uno de los compositores más influyentes del siglo XX. A lo largo de una década, desde 1982 hasta 1992, el cineasta Scheffer colaboró estrechamente con Cage, logrando acumular un archivo único de material audiovisual que incluye entrevistas, actuaciones y vistas de lugares significativos en la vida del compositor. Al igual que Cage, Scheffer adoptó el método del Yi Jing para incorporar el azar en sus obras, aunque en la edición del documental se decantó por una aproximación más convencional en las decisiones y selecciones, ofreciendo así un tributo profundo a la metodología y filosofía de Cage.
