Boris has harbored a deep passion for painting since his childhood. Now a young adult, he finds himself fixated on the idea of outshining his lifelong idol, Jean Michel Basquiat.

For 99 days and nights, Boris relentlessly paints in his studio, neglecting food and water while isolating himself from the outside world. Thankfully, his friend Nina arrives just in time to prevent the young artist, overwhelmed by madness and hallucinations, from taking his own life.
