Synopsis

At 81, Paul SIMON remains happily engaged in the making of new music and is willing to reflect on his life’s highs and lows. He invites Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex GIBNEY inside the studio as he works on his 2023 album Seven Psalms, trying out lyrics, exploring new sounds, and performing a duet with Edie BRICKELL, his wife of 30 years. As the album comes together, Simon opens up about his six-decade career that’s visualized with a bounty of archival footage, some of it never before seen. Simon’s life is abundant with love affairs, breakups, inspirations, and setbacks. But he always comes back to the magic of making a new record.
