În 1973, documentariștii Albert și David Maysles au pătruns în ciudata lume a lui „Big Edie" și a lui „Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, două personaje fascinante și excentrice înrudite cu Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Petrecând șase săptămâni cu cele două femei retrase din viața publică și izolate într-o vilă dărăpănată cu 28 de camere din East Hampton, frații Maysles au surprins viața lor de zi cu zi, fără cenzură și fără ornamente, realizând, astfel, documentarul GREY GARDENS. Nimeni n-a știut, însă, că acel documentar de 100 de minute avea să le aducă celor două femei statut de personalități cult, păstrându-le pe veci în istorie. Filmul trece în revistă viața plină de lux dusă înainte de a se retrage din viața publică și explică, oarecum, motivele care au stat la bazele izolării.

It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and mind-expanding animation that echoes the startling originality of the poem itself. All three coalesce in a genre-bending hybrid that brilliantly captures a pivotal moment-the birth of a counterculture.
