A film telling the life story of Sixto Rodriguez, a singer who was predicted to have a career bigger than Bob Dylan's, but who... no one had heard of. In the late 1960s, in a Detroit bar, two established music producers heard an unknown singer of great talent. They recorded an album with him, hoping that he would become a star straight away. However, the album was a failure: literally no one wanted to buy it. The singer soon disappeared without a trace, if one does not count the rumour of his bizarre suicide during a concert.
