Documentary on the 1965 Albert Hall Poetry Festival, which more than seven thousand people attended to see prominent members of the Beat Generation such as Allen Ginsberg (reading a poem by the Russian poet Andrey Voznesensky), Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gregory Corso, and others like Ernst Jandl, Alec Trocchi, Adrian Mitchell, Michael Horovitz, Christopher Logue and Harry Fainlight, who reads a poem about LSD. Through cine-vérité, Peter Whitehead makes the spirit of the era of the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock shine through living literature.
