We join him on his travels to the world's most prestigious opera and concert halls, such as the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and the Salzburg Festival. We meet up with the singer on stage at the National Theatre in Prague and at the location of his permanent contract, the Vienna State Opera. This documentary maps Adam Plachetka's ceaseless "run" from continent to continent and from stage to stage.
